Description

Sandstone and limestone uncoursed random rubble masonry. Height approx. 3m to base of roof. The roof is neatly corbelled in smaller courses, and the surviving part is of a conical or domed shape. The top courses are missing. The doorway, at N, has been damaged by recent use of the building as a calf shelter, but has been repaired and a timber frame inserted. The appearance of the damaged area suggests the opening formerly had a low segmental arch.

Diameter about 2.7m internally. There is no evidence of a potence. More than 200 pigeon-holes in ten rows with up to 25 holes per row. No shelves. Rough stone paving, probably recent.
