Description

The Round House is a circular structure from the late 18th century, likely used as a parish lock-up. It is built from squared pecked sandstone blocks and features an ashlar cornice. The domed roof has a central lipped opening. There are small openings on the sides that are secured with iron bars. The door facing the street is of 20th-century design.
