<upd_detl>This is more to do with English than Japanese.  I think "outhouse" has too strong of a "tiny wooden outdoor bathroom" connotation in modern English to be useful here(or rather, it risks being strongly misleading here).  Unless 納屋 can also have this connotation, which I don't think it does, I think we're better off dropping it.</upd_detl>

納屋(なや、英語: Barn)とは、主に別棟に建てられた物置小屋のことである。特に農家では農作物や農機具などを収納しておく小屋を指す。漁村では、舟や網を収納する小屋、もしくは若い漁師を起居させる網元が用意した小屋の事である。

Mostly barn, but here's a possible mistake below:

Morning 5 September, the siege began when Chief Winamac's forces attacked two soldiers returning from an outhouse.
9月5日朝、ウィナマック酋長の部隊が納屋から砦に戻る兵士2人を攻撃したときに包囲戦が始まった。

Now, is that outhouse a bathroom? (As an American reader, that's my understanding).  Is it still a bathroom in Japanese?

daijs has 4 senses, none of them look like "bathroom" to me.
