The farmer found a bottle (neck broken) with 'MR SAMUEL CLAP COURTENAY 1769' inscribed on it, which he has kept. The farmer believed this farm to have been called Scotchayes and thought it may once have been a blacksmiths shop. Tracing of part of 1798 survey in Blackdown Hills Archive. Other details: Archive.
