Stone mullioned windows to the rear. Attached gate pier to the south-west of square section with pyramidal cap, which flanks one side of a blocked entrance to the outer courtyard at Hamstall Hall (q.v.). Interior. Timber framed cross walls and some close studded framing to the rear. Cambered tie beams and v-struts above the collars, 2 pairs of purlins and ridge piece; some curved wind braces.
