Flat-coped walls. Tall c.35-metre long-double-skin north wall was formerly
heated by flues linked to 3 tiers of small segmental-headed coal furnaces,
now blocked but still visible on outer face; several battered abutments on
outer face. 45-metre long east wall has ramped up north section with 2
stepped buttresses. Lower 40-metre long south wall has rounded south-west
corner. Similar 30-metre long west wall has off-centre doorway with

south-east corner to Rectory Terrace are not of special interest.
