Large rectangular structure located just to the north of the 1897 Brunton Calciners, and within the bend of the trackway to the quay. It is first shown on the 1906 Ordnance Survey map, suggesting it was associated with the expansion of the arsenic works in the 1890s. It consists of a rectangular shed with demolished shillet walls and one partially surviving gable end (western) 1 - 1.5 metres high. The east and north walls survive to a height of about 1 metre.

A rectangular building of unknown function, first shown on the 1904 Ordnance Survey map, survives as low walls circa 0.3 metres high, 8 metres by 4 metres. An early 20th century photograph shows the building as two storeys high, and it was probably an office. Other details: Figure 36, site 42.
