Field Visit (March 1928)
This three-storeyed house, which is built of rough rubble, harled, and is crow-stepped, is entered through a moulded doorway, lying in a re-entrant angle on the west side and leading to a turnpike. In the south wall, between the westmost and the central window of the first floor, there is a small, plain, square sundial. The building may date from the 17th century with subsequent alterations.
Attached to the northern end of this building are two rubble-built houses of two storeys. They have been much altered and are now in a very ruinous condition and used as sheds. The windows, with their rounded arrises, suggest a 17th century date.
RCAHMS 1933, visited March 1928.
