- architectural element of the former sheepfold, built in the second, early Gothic phase of the abbey. Originally, the central arcade was probably open, housing a window with a shutter or animal entrance. Probably still in the Middle Ages, the function of the building was changed to that of a barn and most of the openings were bricked up (traces of bricking visible inside).

- Description
- A pointed-arched recess with double-arched reveals houses a lower, but the same width recess with a similar closure. This in turn is filled by a (secondary) wall with a narrow opening closed by a pointed gabled arch. The outer edge of the large niche profiled, the edge of the dodger chamfered. The field above the arch of the lower niche was originally plastered (plaster preserved fragmentarily). All visible masonry fragments realised in the Vendian thread (carriage house, coach house, head house).
