Description

A stone building front with a wooden plank door set under an arch, and carved reliefs above it: a winged figure, two animal-like figures and a small shield-like motif. A round rosette medallion sits to the right of the door, beside a shuttered window with a wooden bar, and a worn stone bench lies in front. Plaster has flaked from the rubble wall above the carvings.
