The building recording was limited to examining the rear of the fireplace, which was exposed during the building works. It showed the construction of roughly coursed limestone rubble with brick quoins at the base, brick header courses above. The bricks indicate the fireplace being a later addition, possibly in the 18th century. No original witchert wall was exposed (B3).
