Full description
GR to places named on tithe as Lords Hill. Field work revealed....closer inspection shows a course of stones almost entirely bedded in the ground and consisting of well trimmed blocks with workmanship of much higher quality than is usual in farm buildings, some of this course lies under part of the wall of the present building, but there is a short stretch running out at rightangles to the wall. It is contended that these are the foundations of the old manor house...... suggested part surrounds it etc. [1]
