Monument record 33/4/2 - Remains of farm buildings

{1} The only substantial feature, Wall 9, was almost certainly demolished during the second half of the 19th century and is probably the outer or western wall of the range of farm buildings mapped in 1850. The range was presumably demolished when its successor was built immediately alongside but a little to the east.

The wall was built on footings of undressed marlstone set in a trench c.1m wide and c.10cm deep. The wall itself which only survived for one and sometimes two courses, was 55cm wide and was built of roughly dressed marlstone up to 30cm long, 25cm wide and c.8cm thick which formed two skins filled with smaller stone.
