NS 9915 5030 The present Falla Farm steading is thought to date from the mid-19th century although, on the evidence of Pont's map of the 1590s, its origins are considerably earlier. The proposal to renovate the outbuildings - which include a large barn, a derelict cottage, cart sheds and animal houses - prompted an investigation to determine whether such work might damage evidence of earlier settlements. This investigation, which comprised exploratory trenching against the walls of the outbuildings, produced no evidence of any pre-19th-century features. A photographic survey was also undertaken of the exteriors and interiors of the standing buildings.
