Shop, at west (since removed and Green Sand Shop, qv.), to south. Outer walling only still standing with complete section along north side. Originally containing a water powered hammer mill and further water wheel beside south wall. (Much evidence of
former use can still be seen in surviving walling).

Two storeys. North wall has two original doorways and original vertical glazed window over right-hand doorway. On the inside of the wall are stone piers at each bay.

Part of the Perran Iron Foundry, founded in 1791, and in its heyday the most important foundry in Cornwall, manufacturing some of the largest beam engines ever constructed.
