  • The rectangular building (Feature 1.4) that extends southwest from the chimney was not an original feature. It first appears on the 1900 OS mapping, and was a low lying structure, no higher than the stone base of the chimney as shown on the 1949 RAF aerial photograph. While it may possibly have served as an engine house its function is at present unknown. There are no scars on the chimney base that indicate how the rectangular structure may have bonded or butted to the chimney. The remains of the building are extant, extending west from the chimney, but they are very heavily overgrown. It is hoped that clearing back the vegetation will allow a better understanding of the structural form and function of the building.
