End stacks, the left rebuilt on older brick base, the right C18 brick, with cornice. Both returns show evidence of former attached houses. Outshut to rear. The western two bays have walls 0.9 metre thick and may have been part of a bastle; in the C19 the enlarged house was the mine manager's residence.
