1/182 Ash House about 20 metres north-
- west of Waye Farmhouse

GV II

Ash house. C19 or earlier. Granite rubble with flat roof made of long pieces of
granite, laid crosswise. A small oblong building with doorway in short south-east
wall. Lintel and main parts of the jambs of this doorway are of single large
pieces of granite; the right-hand jamb has 2 large iron hinges for a door. In the
centre of the roof one of the long granite pieces has been omitted and instead
there are short pieces of granite laid lenghways. This leaves an aperture at the
top of each of the long side-walls; on the south-west side the aperture has
been lengthened, probably to allow the ashes to be inserted. It is doubtful if the
aperture on the north-east side is original, since it adjoins a field belonging to
a neighbouring farm.
