A minor deserted settlement as described.
Visited by OS (NKB) 6 November 1978.

NOTE: There are no building remains visible on any available vertical aerial photographs at or within 100m of the given grid reference, which is also not at what would have been the 250 ft contour. However, c.145m to the southeast, more or less at the 250 ft contour, are the remains of at least one building c.22m long, which may be one of those as originally reported (see MHG) [IS-L 24/06/2025].
