Building survey undertaken by Archaeology South East in 2005. The building has three main phases of construction: Nothing remains of the earliest phase(s) of building, but the layout of later phases of work suggests a farily large building which, as it was demolished soon after the phase 2 alterations, was possibly quite old. c.1770 the building was extended in brick. In the late C18 / early C19 the original building was demolished (if it was not already) and replaced with a brick lean-to. (3)
