Details Remains of a farmstead situated on a gentle west-facing slope in agricultural ground at an altitude of about 85m OD. This mid-19th-century farmstead has an L-shaped plan comprising a house and what was probably a byre and two stables. There is a lean-to shed of breeze-block construction with a roof of corrugated material attached to the south end of the east range. At the west end of the longer, south range is a one-storeyed farmhouse of lobby, scullery, four rooms and a timber and corrugated-roofed porch. The buildings are of coursed granite. The farmhouse has a slate roof while the other buildings are roofed with pantiles. When visited in 2000 the farmstead was derelict.
