Full Description
Farmstead still in use. On the 1st edition OS map it is shown as a group of six buildings, one with an attached enclosure, and a limekiln. By the 2nd edition OS map the building to the south-east, the limekiln and the building which had the enclosure are shown as disused and the enclosure has been removed. On the building at the south-west is an attached horse-mill. When visited in 1998 by the RCAHMS the westernmost building was found to be a barn which had the remains of a water powered mill at the north-east end. Only the north edge of the wheel pit and a short section of lade and the remains of a mill pond to the north of the public road were visible. The horse-mill has been removed and the limekiln was destroyed circa 1974 when its site was levelled for the construction of a dutch barn. The 2006 map also shows that the two disused buildings shown on the 2nd edition map have been removed.
