Full Description
The 1st edition OS map shows one roofed building with a small attached enclosure at this location. The 2nd edition OS map shows no building but two conjoined rectangular enclosures. This is located at the west end of an area of former improved and enclosed field. A walkover survey in 2007 confirmed that the only structure now visible is the remains of a rough concrete sheep dip. <1>
