The ruined shell of a two-storied structure lies at the head of the beach, in front of Northskaill Farm. It is aligned end-on to the beach and measures 11m long by 5m wide. The building has crow-stepped gables and retains fragments of a slate roof. The walls are clay-bonded and traces of render survive both internally and externally. Fireplaces are built into both of the end walls on the upper story; that at the west end retains a fine sandstone surround. There are windows in both the side and west end walls on the upper level, while there are two opposed doorways and two window at ground level. A shed, 4m by 5m, adjoins the west end wall. The building appears to have served as a combined store (ground floor) and dwelling house (upper level). The interior is now very overgrown. |
