Buildings described as 'The office, carpenter's shop, smith's shop, and material house' were completed in 1853, and are shown on the 1867 Bedford Estates maps. The ground has been cut from the hillside to form a surface upon which the buildings have been founded (adjacent to the upper hillslope). The site is very overgrown with trees and bushes. Only sections of a rear wall, 2.7 metres high, are visible, the remainder seems to have been robbed or collapsed. Other details: Figures 5-6, 35, site 16.
