Full Description

The second edition Ordnance Survey map (1897-1900), shows two rectangular structures, running parallel to each other and the field boundary. The possible remains of the northern structure are shown on the fourth edition Ordnance Survey map (1928-52) however, the building has been separated into three individual structures; the southern strucuter has been demolished.
The 1940s aerial survey shows a long rectangular building in approximately the same location as the original northern structure, however it appears to have been demolished before the 1990 aerial survey.
