Castle Farm, Wolscott
A house that was originally built during the Medieval period. Near the house there is a series of earthworks that may represent the remains of a hollow way and house platforms. The site is located between Woolscott and Grandburgh.
1 Castle Farm is called Woolscott Castle on a Tithe Map from 1849.
2 The older part of the house is 17th century stonework built in an unusual manner with alternate courses of brown marlstone and white limestone.
3 Some Medieval, Post Medieval pottery, 2 decorated clay pipe bowls, and flints were found in a field adjoining the farm. Also in a field on the opposite side of the road there are earthworks which may represent the remains of a homestead which existed in 1849, or an even earlier desertion.
