Full Description

A roofed rectangular building is depicted on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map c.1878 orientated in a N-S direction with access track extending from the main road to the structure. By the 2nd edition c.1908 the site had expanded to be composed of two roofed structures set within a rectangular enclosure. A walkover survey in October 2008 noted the site to be occupied by a single storey cottage in excellent condition which has been harled and white washed, set within a rectangular drystone walled enclosure. <1>

The 1962 and 1980 Ordnance Survey maps depict this building as a post office. <2>-<4>
