This map depicts two parallel terraces of possible houses either side of a yard and running parallel to Gunko Lane. The eastern terrace comprises four houses with a smaller structure at the southern end. The western block comprises three houses adjoining Gunko Lane and two further houses to the immediate north, orientated at 90 degrees to the first three. A covered alley way lies between these houses and allows access to the courtyard which lies between the two terraces. Where the courtyard isn't defined by the terraces, it is walled. A water tap is located within the courtyard.
