Description
The ruined building located about 40 metres north-west of The Priory is the remains of an outbuilding, dating from the 18th century or possibly earlier. It is constructed from cut and squared Ham stone and is roofless, with the west gables and both side walls still standing, while the east gable is missing. The ends of the walls have been finished in ashlar, likely for use as a wagon shed at some point. There are traces of an inserted floor in the west gable, along with doorways in the gable and in the south wall. Near the building, there are three single-stone gateposts: one is located 3 metres to the east, and the others are to the north-west. This structure is included for its significance within an important medieval complex and for its contribution to the setting of The Priory.
