An old kennel is shown on a plan of 1822 in this vicinity. Recorded by Northern Counties Archaeological Services for the National Trust in 2007. The principal ruinous structure probably once functioned as a blacksmith's shop rather than a kennel for hunting dogs. The remains are multi-period in date, possibly 18th century at earliest, as the Gibside Cash Books of 1749 refer to the 'new Smith Shop' which was furnished with an anvil and bellows in 1753. John Dixon was the estate blacksmith at this time. One of his jobs was to make iron tyres for wooden wagon wheels. The overgrown remains of the main building comprise a one-roomed sandstone rubble structure, faced in ashlar with a single door and central window facing towards the stables. The north wall retains an area of hand-made red brick with later insertions of white firebrick and a square flue.

Brick building 90m SSE of stable block.

Site of saw mill. Where logs are converted into timber. OS mapping shows that the building was in existence in 1895, was extended before 1914 and was demolished by 1939. Some structural remains survived at ground level in 2009 and were recorded by NCAS ahead of proposals to construct a new building on the site which would straddle the surviving remains. The range was divided into two equally sized bays. The southern bay was floored with concrete and incorporated a raised cast concrete mounting with a wheel pit on the west side. The northern bay was seperated from the other by a shallow step down and a gully floored with firebrick quarls.

Buttress wall and culvert.

The stream channel has been culverted with walls and paving stones.

Bridge abutments of former drive. Above present entrance road.

Part of the retaining walls along the Gibside Estate bank of the River Derwent which were begun in 1733 and known in estate records as 'keys'. The 'key' wall which survives is formed of sandstone ashlar to the river side. The ashlar work is continued just into the mouth of the Leap Mill Burn, where it changes to sandstone rubble.
