Barn with adjoining pigsty area. Shown on late 19th century Ordnance Survey map, the small projection shown at the north east corner is probably the smoking room identified during farm survey. The pigsty is well preserved with individual sties separated by large vertical slate slabs. The smoking room retains its wooden revolving 'winding' mechanism. Rafters blackened. The barn, however, has been altered significantly and re-roofed with modern materials. Other details: No 1415, 1418.
