Details Farmstead, still in use, which has undergone numerous changes since the 19th century, when it was depicted on the 1st edition of the OS map as a U-shaped steading with a large group of other buildings and two garden enclosures to the north and norheast. Most of these buildings also appear on the OS 2nd edition sheet, one of which has also been developed into a second U-shaped range. RCAHMS site visit noted that of the fourteen buildings shown on the 1st edition sheet, only the farmhouse is still inhabited, and most of the rest have been removed. The exceptions are the ruins of a cottage and a mill, the former standing adjacent to the U-plan range at the foot of the fields to the northeast, and the latter about 50m south of the same range. The range itself, used as a store for straw bales, replaced an earlier building some time before 1902. A pond supplied water to power the mill in the gully, and also what appears to have been a second mill lying at the east end of the southern of the two enclosures.
