Vis=-/3/1991 (simpson and weddell) the site of this settlement lies in open pasture, a large field which includes the neighbouring site of matthew's cottage. It stands on a valley side, the upper part of which is relatively steep. No buildings survive although a heap of rubble marks the site of the eastern building. There are traces of terraces in this area which probably indicate the former sites of other buildings. The trackway between matthews and trotts is not visible in its upper course. Midway down the slope however a distinct hollow way is visible, and in its lower course there is evidence of paving in the form of small chert blocks. This is just below the turf. The later 19th century map shows a trackway leading directly to trotts from the north. This is no longer visible. There are signs of other earthworks to the south-west of the buildings. Further lynchets and terraces are visible to the south-east.
