Full Description
Two ruined buildings, possibly originally used as an overnight stance for drovers at Fedden.
The site was visited and recorded by D Glass on 11/06/2014. A roofless rectangular building aligned NE – SW and measuring 10 metres by 5 metres. The building is divided into two compartments by a central gable which has a chimney. The walls stand to 2 metres high and are built of roughly dressed stone with mortar joints. Each compartment has a fireplace in the central gable. A roof slate was found nearby, indicating that the building was roofed with slate. The tumbled remains of another building measuring 6 metres by 4 metres lie about 10 metres to the north. Fedden is supposed to have been an overnight stance on the drove road from the north. <1>
