By the early-19th century these burgage plots had been amalgamated and a group of small stone and brick buildings were erected. These may have had a light industrial purpose such as a smithy and a carcase processing site as a pit was identified containing numerous animal bones. These buildings were demolished between the late-19th and early 21st centuries, the site being used as a garden with some cobbled surfaces and pathways being laid down.
