Full Description
A desk-based assessment and walk-over survey of the route of the proposed pipeline was conducted by C. Dagg in 2000.
This building is marked on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map and can be seen on a 19th century photograph as a thatch-roofed cottage. There is now no trace of this, and it is presumed to have been destroyed by the construction of the present road. Grass-covered mounds between the old and the new roads at this spot may relate to this structure, but no discernible shape to the mounds could be seen and they are probably only random rubble. <1>
