The Department's description
Exterior description and setting
Constructed entirely of random Silurian and granite rubble masonry. Very heavy undergrowth precluded inspection of the pot. The draw hole, which is also difficult to access, has a horizontal granite lintel at front. This opening reduces in height and width through a series of skew set corbels to the draw hole.
Historical information
