embankment. Each face has Tuscan pilasters and clasping pilasters, rising
from floor string, and with entablature. Rebuilt gables to north-east and
south-west sides, which together with south-east side are each of 3 bays. 2
windows and central doorway to south-west side; 3 windows to south-east
side, all round-headed, with moulded architraves continued to floor string,
and lacking doors and glazing. 4 blocked round-headed openings, that to
left being later, on south-east face of basement. Lower part of north-west
side obscured by remains of contemporary adjoining building, above which,
pilasters define single-bay returns on this side, at each end. Extending

defined by single pilaster strip on north-east face, and having 2
round-headed openings without glazing. Contains remains of bed of hauling
