Substantial masonry, discovered when soil was removed from a depression adjacent to the north-west end of the blacksmith's shop, proved to be the base of a chimney stack, ten feet across, with a hole in the middle 32 inches wide. This was cleared to a depth of 5 feet 6 inches, to the top of the flue.
