Description
Detached three-bay single-storey outbuilding, c.1850, containing two wall ovens and two smoking chambers. Outbuilding now roofless. Smokehouse and oven constructed of random coursed limestone with tooled limestone voussoirs surrounding the smoking chambers. One of the chambers is of double height.
Appraisal
This intact complex of ovens and smoking chambers is unusual. The large double-height smoking chamber may have accommodated a full animal. The complex provides an insight into the working of Mount Briscoe demense in former times.
