squared sandstone, with roof of stone slates (now coated) and pantiles. Two-

rectangular and those above square. Ridge chimney. Right-hand gable wall
has glazed lean-to conservatory covering present entrance into outshut.
Interior: visible remains of formerly timber-framed building include 2 of 3
wallposts in the rear wall, wallplates in front and rear walls, tie-beams at

terminate on a light tie beam or collar approx. 1½ metres from the gable wall
(suggesting remains of former smoke bay or smoke hood). Stone staircase in
outshut, rising along outside of former rear wall (suggesting formerly open
