The plan is that of three nearly equal
compartments - the central compartment
open to the air by a lofty arch which
extends the entire length of the building.

The compartments on either side are
divided into two stories the lower chambers
being spanned by a broad transverse arch.
This upper story is reached by a stair in the
thickness of the wall between the central and
western compartments.

The original floor of the central compartment
was higher by over a meter than the level
of the side rooms, and a continuous moulding
or corbel is carried around at that level
from the lower or ground level, which is
now well filled up. Broad arches open
to the west under the stairs.

On the exterior the rear and end walls are
quite plain laid of carefully dressed
blocks with tooled edges. The facade is the
only interesting feature. At either end
of the facade is a small door
