T C Welsh 1968.

Welsh (T C Welsh 1968) seems to have amalgamated the two depopulated sites of Wester Turnaig, at NC 392 003, and Easter Turnaig (NC 401 002 - see NC40SW 11) in his description. At Wester Turnaig are two houses with outbuildings and steadings, and a large area of strip cultivation. The site is not surrounded by a ditch, though it does occur on an old river terrace with drainage ditches in the vicinity.
Visited by OS (AA) 22 August 1974.
