The Vault, Downfield.
This building, much overgrown with grass and badly mutilated, stands in the field adjoining Downfield Farm on the north-east. It consists of a single chamber, measuring 33 ½ feet in length by 15 ½ feet in breadth within walls of rough rubble from 3 ½ to 4 feet in thickness. The entrance, which has been in the middle of the south wall, is broken down, but the vaulted ceiling is still intact. Four window slits, measuring from 4 to 6 inches outside and splayed internally, serve for light, one on either side of the doorway and one in each gable. The vault is of uncertain antiquity but may be of 17th-century date.
RCAHMS 1933, visited 12 August 1927.
