Liverton marked. Comparison with the Tithe Map shows the courtyard of farm buildings to have been extended along the east and west sides, the original building on the south side to have gone. The horse engine house is not shown either. Additional buildings have also been added to the building south-west of the farmhouse and further buildings are also shown at the end of a yard/garden extending to the south-east from the house.
