A Newish Brick Ruin

There are far more interesting and substantial brick ruins in this square - unfortunately at the time of my visit there was at least one bull in the fenced off area containing them. This ruin appears as a 'Ruin' on a large-scale 1950s OS map but doesn't appear on any earlier maps. Presumably it was some kind of storage hut. There are no windows and the doorway is unusually high, around 10 feet I'd guess. For whatever reason there are two other walls with a doorway sized gap in between them, about six feet tall, after the entrance doorway and parallel to it. On the left, in this small hallway/vestibule area, is a brick construction, rather like a solid shelf, into which is set an open cube-shaped recess, again for no obvious reason. If it was used for cooking there was no chimney.
