A 2017 watching brief at the farmhouse identified the remains of foundations interpreted (2) as a possible 18th century bread oven. Background study of the site, carried out as part of the watching brief, also suggested a later date for the farmhouse structure based on the visible fabric of the building. The report author(s) interpreted the house as having been built within the second half of the 18th century and before the beginning of the 19th century. (2)
