This site was recorded here as part of an archaeological desktop and walkover survey ahead of a water main renewal project. An L-shaped roofed building is present on the 1st edition OS map (1870s) It is not marked on the 2nd edition OS map (1905) or any later map. It was recorded in the Ordnance Survey Name Book as a single-storey thatched farm house with a small thatched office house. Nothing is visible on any aerial photographs studied.
