Two loopholes with paving slab lintels in a stone wall. The holes have been filled with stone, but their position is still clear due to more recent mortar. A modern stone wall has been built in front as an extension of the London Road wall. The loopholes are wider on the 'inside'. They would have covered the adjacent roadblock [see UORN 5782]. The loopholes originally had wooden frames and green paint on the exterior.
