Short Description:
External lean-to wall foundation immediately S of cellar
Issued to

Interpretation

    • Wall footing/foundation for lean-to building extension, appended to the southern gable end of structure. Stratigraphic relationship uncertain, but likely to be contemporary with original building. This was not visible on later photographs, so was removed to make way for external cloak and boot room.
