Full Description
NG25NW 1.06 2444 6054.
This farmstead, which is situated on a natural terrace above the main cultivated ground of the township, lies on the line of a boundary bank and comprises two buildings at right-angles to one another and an enclosure on the W side. The boundary bank cuts through the enclosure and is built onto the ends of the main building, which measures 13.1m from E to W by 3.2m transversely within rubble walls 1.6m in thickness and 1.1m in height. This building post-dates the other building; the latter shows signs of thickening of its E side wall and a trace of a partition.
