An old Regality court-house dating from about 1600 stood near Evelix Farm-house (NH 7693 9001). It was used latterly as a barn but is now demolished. Its 'Gallows Tree' stood nearby.

The whole of the E wall of the court-house and c. 2.0m of the S gable survive to a height of c. 1.0m, incorporated in the line of a modern field wall at NH 7704 9002. The building has been 12.0m long within walls 0.8m thick and the E wall contains a central doorway 1.0m wide.
