Monument Types
- TOILET (Late 18th C to Late 19th C - 1800 AD to 1900 AD)
Description
Small stone structure with stone flag roof close to the house.
(NT VBS Surveyor; 1987)
Building 2 (store)
This small store, which stands very close to the north-east corner of the house, can be dated to c 1900 on map evidence. It has an irregular shape and a single doorway, and lacks windows. Its most likely function is as a coal shed, and although Green suggests it may be an earth closet, there is a privy attached to Building 3 which would have served this function.
