One of two buildings shown on the 1905 historic map to the east of the river. This larger, rectangular structure lies around 100 metres south of the lime kiln and is oriented north-west by south-east and is now represented by low footings. It would appear from a contemporary photograph to have been a substantial single storey structure with a chimney stack offset slightly north on the central axis. It possessed a thatched roof and seemed to have a domestic function.
