Bowerwood marked. Comparison with the Tithe Map shows the farmstead to have been largely rebuilt. The L-shaped building appears to have been enlarged and another building built adjoining to the east, while the three sided range has been replaced by another three sided range to the south, the open side facing north. A well is also marked in the north-west corner of the field or paddock to the north.
