a ruin consisting of just three walls and some remnants of doors and windows. The building measures 10.3m from east to west and 5.25m from north to south. The west walls are 0.5m wide and the north wall is 1.5m wide. The tallest remaining wall is 3.7m high. The north wall is the most intact, with over half of it still standing.
