NG 1893 5366 (centred on) A survey was made of the area to determine the presence of buildings which could
have been the site of a piping college in the 18th century. Confirmatory measurements were made first of the boundary of the area designated for survey (c0.5ha); following which the ground was walked over to identify the presence of any building remains. Four lines of boulders were observed at c0.5–1m above ground level and covered in thin topsoil. The findings indicate that dwellings may have existed there or that structures may have been put up for use in animal husbandry. Dating is difficult and the survey concluded that this site probably had buildings on it two centuries ago but the nature and purpose of these could not be determined.
