Remains of a small farmstead depicted on the 1st and 2nd edition OS maps. the 1st edition OS map shows a long rectangular steading, oriented east-west, with a smaller rectangular buildings at right angles at the south east ned, a dam to the wets and a well to the north east. By the 2nd edition map, the long steading building has been shortened by half, new buildings add to the south of this (on the site of the former dam), and a dam is now shown to the north west with sluice and lade. Only part of the later southern building appears to survive today as a roofed structure, with footings of other buildings also visible.
