Archaeology Notes

ND39SW 20.06 30425 94785

A brick built building with a corrugated iron roof stands in a field about 150m N of the sharp bend in the B9047 road. The entrance in the S elevation and there is evidence of a lean-to structure at the W end. The roof is timber framed and the gable ends have been cut through by louvred ventilation openings.

Internally the building shows evidence of its former use as a squash court with lines painted on the walls.
