Left return: No 40 has door-way, later first floor window, and small eaves opening on right; C20 outshut on left not of special interest. Interior: on ground floor, large-scantling cross-beams and joists, the former with carpenters' marks and some with good stops to chamfers; cross-wing (No 39) side-wall removed to form continuous open space with C20 addition, but mortices in soffit of wall plate indicate position of former timbers.
