Description
The chimney at Fron Hall is a structure made of rubble, standing about 60 to 70 feet high and measuring 10 feet in diameter. It is mostly hidden by a thick layer of ivy. The chimney tapers slightly as it rises. On the northeast and southwest sides, there are small, brick-lined, round-arched openings at ground level. The southwest opening is the original kiln opening, while the northeast opening serves as an air vent.
