Information from (S1).

August 1994. Only one gable wall is of brick and this and the plinth have horizontal skintlings identical to those in a brick stable and gig house adjacent, and the farmhouse which has a plaque I IVES 1780, Timber frame has inverted V bracing; no evidence of bracing to the ties predating the iron bolted knuckles; tiebeams large and smooth cut. Whole barn seems to be of about 1780 rather than 1700. Poor condition.
May since have been demolished.
