Description

Single storey structure with whitewashed stone rubble walls and roof of two bays with corrugated cladding. Small stone chimney stack at NW end. The NW gable wall has a small shuttered opening in its E side and egress for water to the stream bed in its W side. The SW elevation has an opening at its base to an internal basin. The SE gable wall has a wide opening on the E side.

Approximately one third of the surface of the building is taken up on the W side by a sunken basin for washing with water flowing into it from a pipe in the SE gable end. A flight of steps at the N end of the basin leads up to a platform with a stone flagged floor and low stone rubble balustrade above the basin, now partly demolished. In the NE wall are the remains of a fireplace. Allegedly the structure was used as a communal laundry.
