The present farmer of Higher Woodland says that he removed the stone from what was reputed to be the barn several years ago. A copy of the 1802 deed of sale includes a messuage which would appear to be the original farmstead. The farmer at Waye Farm states that the remains of a building mainly of cob was removed in recent years. Other details: Sketch plan.
