Description: 

A very interesting unlisted small building.  The LHS with part stone lower courses and unusual high-peaked roof might have been the end cross wing bay of a late medieval hall house.  It is linked with the main Dorset Arms structure and is used as a kitchen/store area.

Altogether this is an interesting and possibly very historic building which is very significant to The Shambles.
