(Falls on sheet NO12NW)

A single structure in the Newlands Plantation, brick built with a corrugated iron roof on timber supports. The roof slopes at a slight angle from W to E. There are two side walls, open at each end, the W wall terminals slope at approximately 45 degrees, as do the E wall terminals but these also turn outwards at a slight angle.

The maximum height of the structure is approximately 30ft, the width 15ft. Mid-way down each internal side is a recess of c5ft depth by 7ft wide by 5ft 10 inches high, each has a concrete base, and a concrete lintel beneath brick arching. It is possible that this structure was a vehicle shelter.
