seat recess, with a small square external recess. Jointing for former doorhead
in rear wall of middle bay. The right bay has exposed plain joists of
horizontal section, with a blocked stair trap at the left side, and an
additional axial beam below it, supported on an iron strap at the right end. C18
wood-burning hearth. At the right end the weathered timbers of no. 22

resulting in this unusual plan. Part of RCHM 38.
