The remains of an 18th century red brick building of unknown purpose, shown on the 2nd edition OS map and which form an open-fronted range to the West of EHER 40660. The brick-built wall can be seen in the East and West ends of an open-fronted range.

March 2006. Heritage assessment. The remains of an 18th century red brick building shown on the 2nd edition OS map and which form an open-fronted range to the West of EHER 40660. This has been roofed over with telegraph poles supporting the eaves. However, there are remnants of the 18th century red brick wall, constructed in Flemish stretcher bond, at the East and West ends, and for part of the North wall. The bricks exhibit the typical diagonal pressure marks of 18th century bricks that have been 'skinked' diagonal under the drying hacks in the brick yard. The original purpose of the building is unknown. <1> <2>
