(SJ 474482) Possible deserted hamlet comprising three
of four steadings with a field way. (1)

At SJ 47564828 there is a single building platform, with small
enclosures adjoining, probably representing a farm. At
SJ 47484824, on either side of an old road leading from the first
site, are two further platforms; one probably the site of a
cottage and its' garden, the other a larger building, possibly
a barn.

From their association with some old field boundaries it seems
that the buildings were probably of Medieval or post-Medieval
date. (2)
