Full Description
Farmstead, still in use, depicted on historic OS maps. The 1st edition shows a U-plan steading, with a rectangular building on the south side of the court, attached horsemill to the north, and three other rectangular buildings, one to the west and the others to the north of the steading. The layout is unchanged on the 2nd edition map but there has been an addition to the northeast corner of the steading. Current maps indicate that the horsemill and building immediately north of the steading have been removed and part of the steading is now derelict. A building survey of the steading was carried out by Cameron Archaeology in October 2016 ahead of proposed conversion. The farm dates from the mid 19th century, and there had been major renovation by the previous owner to convert the steading for dairy use. .
