Early 18th century, long 2-storey harled storehouse. Original
rear and end gable walls, the front (south) elevation part
masked by projecting modern 3-gabled extension. 3-bay narrow
east gable with centre door. 3 long narrow rear window/vents
with chamfered ashlar architraves, various blocked entrances
and later fenestration. Boulder footings; steeply pitched
crowstepped gables with cavetto skewputts; corrugated iron roof. Interior; intervening floor removed and no original interior

facilitate sea transport to markets elsewhere.
With an overall length of around 160' this is the longest of
