Not inspected at the time of survey (May 1998), but internal features recorded by RCAHM Wales include a large fireplace with chamfered timber lintel and stone jambs, to R of which is an alcove. A Tudor-headed doorway with stop-chamfered surround leads to the stone stairway. The stair is a straight flight with a cross slab roof over, turning at the top through another dressed-stone doorway.
