"Bank barn with shippon. Probably late C18 or earlier C19. Coursed sandstone rubble with through-stones and quoins, stone slate roof. Rectangular plan of 4 structural bays. Built on south-facing slope, with barn over shippon forming 2 unequal storeys. The shippon has 4 doorways with shallow segmental-arched heads and dressed voussoirs, 2 small square windows flanking the 3rd doorway, and a continuous stone slate drip-course over these openings; the barn has similar drip-courses on 3 levels, the lowest interrupted by a loading doorway over the first of those windows. Both gable walls have bands of through-stones on 5 levels up to and including the gable itself, and between the 2 topmost bands a large owl-hole. (A small C20 lean-to is attached to the west end.) The rear, of random rubble with through-stones on 3 levels, has a segmental-arched wagon doorway offset slightly left of centre, with double board doors, a drip-band above it and a sunk square panel over the centre of this."
"INTERIOR: lateral partitioning in shippon; feeding hatch in floor of barn; fish-bone strutted kingpost roof trusses. Good example of type of agricultural building characteristic of Cumbrian farms in C18 and C19. Forms group with High Barth Farmhouse (qv)."
