More information : A survey of 1541 refers to a bastle (sic) on Filton Moor (now Carrycoats) called the White House. ('White House', a dwelling, is published on O.S. 6" 1957 at NY 93968078). (1) The house is modern, and no visible remains of a bastle are incorporated. (2) The monks of Newminster Abbey had summer grazing here until the Dissolution, and the pele was probably their creation. In due course a farm replaced the White house pele, the stones of the latter being used to construct the farm buildings, leaving only a grass-covered outline. (3)
