Full Description
Cottage, still in residential use, depicted on historic OS maps. The site is also known as Gairncliff. It is shown on the 1st and 2nd edition OS maps as an L-plan house with two rectangular outbuildings to the north and an enclosure to the south. Standing building survey was carried out by Murray Archaeological Services in August 2021 ahead of proposed development. It was likely originally owned by Henry Illingworth proprietor of the woollen mill to the north (NO39NE0095) in the late 19th century. It may originally have been used as servants' accommodation or for a worker at the mill. It comprised two rooms on the ground floor with a steep stair to the attic. Two timber lean-to structures were probably a toilet and a store.
