Full Description
Site of a farmstead depicted on historic OS maps. The 1st edition shows an H-shaped steading with an attached horsemill on the west side and an L-plan building to the east. There had been some minor additions by the time of the 2nd edition. A watching brief was carried out by ACC Archaeology Unit in September 2008 during excavation of six geotechnical test pits. A number of cobbles suggesting a trackway or drain were recorded in test pit 4 but no other archaeological features or artefacts were uncovered. A watching brief was carried out by Cameron Archaeology in 2012 during groundworks for a community garden but no archaeological deposits were recorded.
