A vaulted undercroft structure built of flints and mortar (no brick or tiles), partially excavated by local amateurs in copse close to Blakeney - Cley coast road.

Visited by P. Wade-Martins (NAU) November 1975 and subsequently photographed by Hallam Ashley January 1976.
It is divided into a series of compartments, and along the west wall is a series of niches, flat topped, rounded and triangular. Possibly of Late Saxon or early medieval date. It is hoped to plan the structure in the spring when their
digging is resumed.
