The National Monuments Service's description
Marked 'site of' on all editions of OS 6-inch map. Two-storey, gabled farm building (11.8m x 7m) of 19th-century appearance with projecting chimney stack (Wth 3.1m; projecting 1.15m at ground level) on S gable; stack probably of 17th-century date. Fireplace (Wth 1.5m; D1.2m), with iron crane, covered by wooden lintel; stack projects inside (0.4m) at 1st-floor level. Outside stack has 'bottle-shaped' profile, topped by two brick courses. Below present roof level two 'flashing' stones project from either side of stack, possibly indicating earlier roofline. Built by Meade family (Healy 1988, 276).
