Notes about this historic site
1 Rous: For the greater part destroyed. Dugdale: Long depopulated. There are possible ‘house pits’ (?) in the photograph, N of the house, but it and its grounds are extensive enough to obliterate traces. In 1316 it was reckoned a hamlet (Feudal Aids, v175).
2 Medium archaeology (B), period of desertion known but documentary evidence inferior in quantity (1).
3 No visual evidence of desertion in the indicated area.
