The construction of a new visitor centre entailed the demolition of circa 10 metres of the stable wall, to link the new building with the stable yard and provide a new point of entry for visitors to the property. The east facing elevation of the length to be demolished was photographed and drawn at a scale of 1:50.The wall was of mortared stone rubble, divided horizontally into two distinct builds, with a series of rectangular sockets at the junction of the two builds. These were intended to hold wooden fixings, probably for a timber structure built against the wall. Other details: Figure 3; plate 4.
