Chimney beside the old Village Pound

A chimney about 6 m high, now standing in isolation. The hearth is exceptionally large, about 2 m deep by 2.5 m wide, with a very shallow segmental arch. The height of this arch above floor level is obscured because the original floor has been buried or perhaps destroyed. The rear of the chimney faces W, and on this side the main block is vertical. The E face is slightly inclined, and there are marks of the attachment to the lost building. The N and S flanks are steeply inclined following the gather of the flue. The top section is probably only the remnant of a slightly tapering circular shaft standing above a drip-course, slightly off-set to the W side. The shaft is about 1 m diameter and survives to a height of 1 m. Unlike other examples of the very large chimneys which are such a conspicuous feature of local traditional domestic architecture, there are no ovens or other internal recesses, and no remnants of iron bars or other artefacts set into the stonework.
