The southern chimney can be seen on the right directly in line with the flue. The remains of the flues are visible in various forms: where they survive intact they are visible as linear mounds up to 8m wide standing to a maximum height of 2m. Internally they comprise an arched structure constructed of square masonry which also lies below ground level for some 2-3m Image Where the roofs and upper levels of the flues are no longer intact they are visible at ground level as ditches, on average 2m wide and 0.5m deep, flanked by two parallel mounds, 2.5m to 3m wide, and standing up to 1m high. In some areas the upper parts of the flue have become spread to form an earthwork on average 10m wide.
