The farmhouse probably dating to c1300-1350 has been demolished.

Three test-pits excavated.

Test-pit A yielded significant quantities of Post-medieval building debris (not quantified) presumably derived from the now destroyed farm complex, plus two sherds of 20th C. china.

Test-pit B contained only very occasional fragments of Post-medieval tile, slate and flint.

Test-pit C contained just eight pieces of 19th/20th C. pottery.
