Killas and granite rubble with granite and brick dressings and timber lintels; painted brick outshut at the front and some brick to left-hand gable; small size rag slate roof with cement mortar grouting sweeping lower over front outshut and at lower pitch over rear extension; brick stack central to rear of outshut. Roughly square plan plus slightly later narrower outshut central to the front and lean-to/outshut at rear. EXTERIOR: single storey; front elevation has small-paned window on either side of the outshut. Lower down on this wall are the beam sockets of a former pilchard-pressing floor. The outshut has a window and a door to the front and a window to the right-hand return. Wide doorway to each return wall of the original building. The doorway of the left-hand return is blocked in 2 phases and there is a loading hatch above. INTERIOR has its original but much-repaired roof structure with nailed collars to the principals. Included as a rare and significant example of its type in Cornwall, part of an important and little altered group in this former fishing and china clay port.
