Lofted stone building situated a short distance from the gatehouse, the two linked by a length of 17th century wall. The stable appears to be contemporary with the gatehouse, dating from the 17th century. However, it also incorporates some walling from an earlier, possibly late medieval building. The quality of the early masonry and the form of the windows suggests that this was a domestic building. See report for full details.
