NT 313 665 A standing building assessment was undertaken on 9–10 June 2009 on the remains of a number of 18th-century features associated with the Pittendreich estate prior to development works. The remains consisted of a walled garden, rectangular dovecote and a large ruinous building. All the features appeared to pre-date the existing Pittendreich House (built in 1857) and were probably associated with an earlier house in the same grounds and location as the present house (now Pittendreich Care Home).
A subsequent evaluation carried out on 30–31 July 2009 successfully located a small number of shallow ditches and pits/postholes of unknown function. Although mostly undated, two of the features contained one fragment each of 19th-century pottery.
