This is a Grade II* listed building of 15th century origin and once of the Manor of Hartpury. It is approximately 49m by 11m externally and supported by largely modern buttresses although some original 2 stage buttresses remain on the south side. An earlier slate roof was replaced by one of red tile, with elaborate diamond and triangular patterns, which was restored in 1981 following major damage in the winter gales of 1976/77. Since the middle of the 19th century the barn has been used mainly as a cow-house and there is an interesting tramway installed along the feeding passage.
