Description
Conduit House is a 16th-century hexagonal structure made of ashlar stone, featuring a single storey and a conical roof covered with stone slates. The building has a gabled doorway and is adorned with iron finials at the gable and the center. There is one stone step at the entrance. Inside, there are two 15th-century stone slabs that originally formed an artificial channel for the conduit, but these have been stored within the building since 1941.
