Corrugated iron roof. Plan: small rectangular 2-storey building with 2 blocked doorways to 1 end, which may be entrances to the lower end of a larger building. This may have been the higher end of a 3-room plan house, or possibly the chamber over the lower end. One end has 2-centred chamfered arched stone doorway, blocked, to left, and 4-centred arched blocked doorway to right. The other end has external stair to first floor entrance. To the front is a C19 doorway with brick segmental head. Interior: The wall above the blocked doorways has substantial remains of wall paintings, including figures and geometric patterns with strapwork. This appears to be secular painting, possibly originally for a solar, possibly of the late C16 or early C17.
