Southernmost tie-beam has cracked and been underpinned by rubble. Corner posts have short diagonal ties triangulating them with wall-plates. Stone flags-on-end with rails on top divide threshing floor from adjacent bays. Studs are massive, some supported by one foot high heel-plates and there are 2 panels between top of rubble base or stone flags and wall-plates. Rails are grooved on top and drilled underneath to take staves for wattle and so present weatherboards are alterations.

Half ties are set on studs of west wall of barn into which open a pair of C17 or C18 ledged doors only about 6 feet high.
