Full Description
Farmstead, still in use, depicted on historic OS maps. The 1st edition shows a U-plan steading open to the southwest with an attached horsemill on the northwest side, and two buildings in the court. To the southeast is a house and garden. The layout is essentially the same on the 2nd edition although the horsemill had been removed and there had been some minor additions. A dovecot is mentioned at Auchenhuive in 1753, although its exact location is not recorded. OS (1964) noted that there was no evidence of this dovecot on the ground and the then owner of the farm had no knowledge.
Period Notes
Dovecot mentioned 1753.
