There is a doorway on the south wall touching the west gable; it is 6 ft. 8 in. [2m] high and 4 ft. [1.2m] wide on the inside where it is arched at top, and 5 ft. 9 in. [1.75m] high and 2 ft. 11 in.

It is constructed of chiselled red stone which presents an ancient aspect, but on the outside (where it is 5 ft. 6 in. [1.67m] from the present level of the ground) it is pointed and constructed of cut limestone. On this side it is only 2 ft. 11 in. [0.89m] in height and 6½ inches in width. The west gable has a small belfry of the annexed form constructed of cut limestone. It has also a small window placed at the height of 14 feet [4.26m] from the ground and measuring on the inside about 3 ft. 6 in. [1.06m] in height and only 7 inches [0.17m] in width. It is of this annexed and constructed of chiselled limestone. The north wall contains a doorway placed directly opposite the one in the south wall, but now built up with mason work. This is constructed of chiselled limestone and quadrangular inside and outside. On the inside where the gable forms one side of it the height is 5 ft. 8 in. [1.72m] and the breadth 2 ft. 8 in. [0.81m], and on the outside the height is 4 ft. 11 in. [1.5m] and the breadth only 1 ft. 10 in. [0.55m]. The lintel is a thin limestone flag inside and outside. At the distance of 18 ft. 9 in.
