The walls of this probably single-storey building are mostly collapsed but the back east wall survives to over 1 metre high. There are three internal dividing walls creating four compartments. The building is 23.5 metres long by 5.5 metres wide with the largest comparment being 8 metres long and the walls are 0.7 metres thick. An outbuilding or porch to the rear is 5.3 metre long by 3 metres wide.
