 porting beams and rafters are in themselves 

 worth careful inspection. There is asingle dor- 

 mer window. 



The potence is still in place, only one or two 

 rungs of its ladder being missing. The nest- 

 holes, numbering over five hundred, are plain 

 oblong recesses, varying a good deal in depth. 



The doorway is particularly good. Its ex- 

 treme height, to the point of the small ogee 

 arch, is three feet nine inches; four inches less 

 to the spring of the arch. The width is just two 

 feet. The building, which is excellently cared 

 for, cannot be much, if at all later than the four- 

 teenth century.
