This depopulated village is entred at NF 892 874. It comprises the remains of 44 buildings, 4 of which contain corn-drying kilns; 16 enclosures, some attached to the buildings; and several old field walls in association with an extensive area of lazy-bed cultivation. The buildings are of 'black-house' type with rounded corners, and vary in size from 13.2 x 4.5m to 5.7 x 3.7m internally, with walls 1.5m wide and extant to a maximum height of 1.6m in places. The buildings in the area 889 871, appear to be the oldest, as only grass-covered footings remain.
