The niche itself is semi-octagonal and has a hipped slate roof with simple roof structure. Modern paved terrace.

Descending from the terrace to the L (N) of the gazebo is a parapeted stone stair of 3 flights of 2, 4 and 5 steps respectively; construction as before. The rear revettment has crenellations with sloped capping stones and the front stair parapet has regular sloped copings; square piers to the bottom flight with similar sloping capping stones.
