Activities

Field Visit (12 June 2015)

NG 56353 27737 Mid 19th century cottage, listed in 1971 as having ‘gable end chimneys’ and a ‘piended thatched roof’, however, the listed building description notes, of unknown date, read ‘uninhabited; condition deteriorating’. The building has been repaired at some point and the thatched roof has been removed, replaced with slates. There is the ruin of what appears to be a small byre located a few metres to the north west of the cottage, that exists to only a few feet in height. The listing description for this building should be updated accordingly.
