Field Visit (March 1981)
Brockwoodlees NY 385 775, 386 774 NY37NE
Situated to the WSW of a minor public road, 590m and 660m respectively SSE of Brockwoodlees, there are the footings of two buildings of clay-walled construction comparable to that still standing at Priorslynn (NY 393 758). These two buildings (which have measured 8.6m by 3.9m and 12.7m by 3.7m respectively within walls about 0.6m thick) are all that now remains of the group of houses which the Ordnance Survey noted at Holehousehillgate in 1857.
