Manor house site, visited 17/12/1953. The field in which the Ordnance Survey siting symbol falls is under crop and no positive signs of a building having stood there were observed, although a scatter of building rubble exists in the area. Adjacent farm outbuildings of stone and cob are very old but bear no charactaristic of ever having been a residence.
