Full Description

NN 6236 9451

To the SW of the modern house are the footings of a stone house c10m by 4m. The building is poorly preserved making its dimensions uncertain. This building was shown as roofed in 1870 but was not shown on the 2nd OS survey, though part of a now-vanished enclosure was recorded.
Some 40m S of the modern house and 20m E of the modern track are the faint remains of a rectangular building aligned E/W and measuring I lm by 4m. This was shown as roofed in 1870.
