Near the well is a drain from a sink, and the three recesses in the east wall were probably for buckets containing a supply of water to stand in. In the north-west corner of the vault a dungeon with an arched roof has been walled off, and is entered from a hatchway at the floor level of the entresol. The kitchen seems to have been in the entresol, having a fireplace in the south wall, and a sink with a drain in one of the windows.
