Three flat roofed structures are visible on aerial photographs taken from the 1940s onwards. They are depicted on an interpretative plan and the two larger structures are marked as store houses (Pye & Woodward 1996). They are visible on oblique aerial photographs from 1958 onwards, and the two store houses seem to have had an upper storey added after 1958, though the roof was in a poor state of repair by 2014. The smaller structure is approximately 3 by 3.5 metres in plan and appears to be sunken. All are thought likely to date to the 19th century.
