NM 2713 6325 (centre) A watching brief was carried out in May 2004 on the demolition of a house ruin and excavation of foundation trenches, a septic tank and soakaway for a residential new build. Pottery dated the main ruin and another adjacent ruin on the W side, to the 19th century. Subsoil produced one piece of flint, possibly worked, which may indicate prehistoric activity on the site. No evidence of medieval settlement was found.
