Tall, twin screw cider press set against north wall, rising into the upper floor level, with a rough access ramp fixed between the head beam and the northern edge of the first floor at the southern end of the cider barn. The design of the press suggests a date after about 1830 up to about 1890 when twin screw presses were in common usage. See report for full details.
