Scope and Content 18th century pair of cottages, with projecting wing to the north elevation. Both the cottages, and the wing to the north, are thatched in reed and have a concrete ridge. The thatch has been left uncovered and has been boxed in with timber at the skews. The north wing appears to have been thatched more recently than the rest of the building, apparent due to the colour of the reed. There is some mossy vegetation growth along the surface of the ridge.
