A considerable part of the east gable remains, as also of the north wall, from which it can be seen that it was a very rude little building not more than four hundred years old. the east gable has a remarkably rude window, which is now disfigured on the inside and outside. The north wall is three feet [0.9m] thick and about eleven feet [3.3m] high' (OSL Athlacca Parish, 111).
