The remains of an early Norman building consisting of portions of the two side walls of a building of indeterminate length running north-south. One of the walls formed the boundary of the churchyard of All Saints Church (TQ 75 NE 40) and the other forming the eastern end of the Dungeon (TQ 75 NE 46).(1)
