Visit Notes

Sunday, 14th July 2002

Yet another little surprise for me. This sweathouse is in the open, but buried beneath the field, again proving that these were secretive things.

All that is visible here now is the broken in roof standing slightly proud of the field. It is difficult to say where the door would have been.

The interior is full of rubble and so I was not able to see inside through the holes in the roof.
