hearth in front wall. Later in C16 extended to present dimensions but still a
mill. The outshut originally 2 storeys and probably of this period or a little

wall, and hearth from second phase in front wall with granite lintel over fire-
place. Timber lintel with stopped chanfl+r over formerly wide front doorway.
