Notes

  • 7+7; originally outside in gable of outbuilding near fortified house; recesses made from reject bricks from local kiln, with shale bases (now collapsed); probably in 1800s, wall was incorporated into outbuilding (with 8 more internal recesses, 1495b); use for skeps may have continued in winter or (unlikely) year-round; building much altered; 2 now filled in
