Tithe map depicts a probable farmhouse and a number of smaller farm buildings in these adjoining plots; 1968-9. The farmhouse is aligned north-east by south-west and may have been a longhouse. Map object based on this source. Boundary runs from mid-way along the southern edge of the building southwards, dividing the plots.

By the later 19th century historic map depiction, most of the potential longhouse is no longer shown; only the eastern end survives; none of the associated structures are now shown. Map object based on this source.
