Visited April 1953 A two -storeyed house of mortared rubble, 30ft long by 17ft 6” wide. The lintels of all openings are stone slabs; the roof is of modern slates with slab copings. At the NW end is a projecting chimney with large square stack with projecting coping; at the SE end is a modern chimney. There are windows on the ground floor only, except for one small window in the SE gable end. The house has two entrances opposite one another in the side walls. A mill -wheel has been built against the SE end of the NE wall, the wall being broken through to take the axle . The water conduit has gone but the buttress to support it remains against the SE side of the NE doorway; the conduit must have been carried over the top of the doorway and along the NE wall, which accounts for the blocking of the NE window. The ground fl oor was divided by a post -and panel partition which was slotted not into the soffit of a ceiling beam but into a separate top beam which survives in its entirety; the SW half of the partition, with a doorway, survives, each 2 ft wide.
