Full Description
Former farmstead, no longer in use as such, depicted on historic OS maps. The 1st edition, at which time it was named Blackbutts Croft, shows a rectangular farmhouse with a small L-plan steading to the north. By the time of the 2nd edition it had been renamed West Blackbutts, both wings of the steading had been extended, a horse-mill added on the north side and there had been small additions to the cottage. Current maps show further alterations and additions, with new buildings to the east, and the horse-mill no longer shown. A Level 1 Standing Building Survey was carried out by Cameron Archaeology in April 2021 prior to proposed demolition. Four phases of construction were recorded.
