Full Description
Remains of a rectangular building depicted on the OS 2nd edition and later maps. The building was recorded during a walkover survey in July 2025 ahead of proposed woodland creation (NJ50SE0173). The building measured 8.2 m (north-south) by 6.6 m (east-west), with a buttress in the northwest corner. The walls survive to a height of up to 1.4 m, and 1 m to 0.7 m in width. No internal divisions or evidence for windows or chimneys in the structure suggest the building was likely to have been a barn. A possible entrance was recorded to the south.
