The two cottages have been made out of one building c. 71 ft. long, with walls of random rubble 3 ft. thick and with the upper storey partly in the roof. The doorway in the middle of the North end is similar to that dated 1594 at Denton Foot (NY 572623). The building is much longer than ordinary bastles to which the character of masonry and the doorway relate it; it may be the original 'manor house called Farlam Hall' of the 'Gilsland Survey of 1603'. It was thoroughly remodelled in the C19th (See Type-site NY 88 SE 14) (2)
