Hipped roof with hipped streys to left and to right. Interior: 4 full bays with aisles with cantileveredterminal outshots, somewhat obscured by later divisions.  One end bay and aisles extensively reconstructed c.1600, but main assembly and part of aisle (reversed assembly) probably contemporary with early C14 Mersham Manor adjacent. Keyed scarfs, with thick, nearly straight braces.  Clasped purlin roof. (See S.E. Rigold.  Major Kentish Barns, 21.  One feature (pegged wedges) he dates elsewhere 1284-1306).
