It may have been built on site of earlier manor. The estate has been owned by Cumming (Comyn) family since 14th century. There is a surviving associated walled garden to the north (NJ05SW0077). The site is now largely occupied by agricultural buildings. A watching brief was carried out by AOC in July 2013 on groundworks for a new dairy shed but no significant archaeological deposits were revealed.
