Standing next to Rowley Farmhouse, this is a medieval barn of five bays. Centre entries, with later window inserted
above doorway in the long yard elevation, which has outshut to west of entry and
later lean-to to east. Two windows in east gable. In rear elevation, two late
C19 or early C20 windows in second bay from west, one each in third, fourth and
fifth bays from west. Internally, the barn retains jowl posts, tie beam braces and a
crown-post roof with square section posts with upward braces of rectangular section;
the roof also has side purlins, perhaps. The weatherboarded exterior conceals timber framing. The hipped roof is tiled.
