Tiled pointed roof with finial. Windows in five sides, door in one. Perhaps the original lodge for the now vanished cattle market. Now ruinous and standing on a demolished site.

The windows are now bricked up (and probably were so in 1976 though not stated above). Land to north now supermarket car park. Building has chimney emerging from one side of roof. 20th-century brick wall attached to one side blocking former gateway. Poor condition.
