Full Description

Five rectangular buildings identified on the second edition Ordnance Survey map 1897-1900 following the field boundary. There are four smaller buildings, probable toilet blocks, associated with these structures.
On the third edition Ordnance survey map (1907-23) there has been the addition of three structures and a square probable toilet block, on the west side of the field boundary.
Shown on the 1940s aerial photographic survey, the western structures are demolished, replaced by two, to the south, on the eastern side of the field boundary. No structures remain in the 1990 aerial photographic survey.

Identified from the Historic Farmsteads Survey. (1)
