(22/04/2020) Site of cottage called Brick Walls, Mary Tavy SX 5080 7808
Site of cottage clearly marked and occupied at time of the tithe map for Mary Tavy parish. Curiously named Brick Walls as there is only stonework visible at the site. Difficult to reconcile the tithe map details precisely with what is left on the ground but there is an interesting cluster of earthworks, stone walls, and apparent buildings over an area of about 20m by 20m.
Two sherds of blue and white china and one of glazed pot found probable 19th/early 20th century date. An old lane leads from the site north-eastwards down to a meadow beside the River Tavy. Photographs taken.
