Leys, Cornescorn 1 NO 563 741 NO57SE 51

The remains of the farmstead of Leys comprise two rectangular buildings (32m and 22m in length respectively) each adjoined by an enclosure, in one of which there is a kiln; a further enclosure lies immediately to the S, and immediately to the E there is a third rectangular building (7m by 4m). Stock-pens have subsequently been built upon the site and around it there are extensive traces of rig-and-furrow cultivation and field banks. The farmstead is depicted as ruinous on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map.
