Notes about this historic site

1 A small building is shown on late 19th/early 20th century OS maps. This area once formed part of the property to the north-west. An aerial photograph taken in 1964 suggested that this building was replaced or extended in the 20th century; a large outbuilding or outbuildings appeared to have existed in this area. However, these are not shown on the 1966 OS map so it may have been demolished by this time.
2 Archaeological observation during topsoil stripping prior to the excavation of the foundation trenches for a new building recorded the remains of a brick outbuilding in the south-eastern part of the site. The bricks recorded probably dated from the mid-20th century, suggesting the rebuilding or enlargement of the 19th century outbuilding. The remains of a brick-built wall was revealed, at least five courses high. The majority of the bricks noted were machine-made and probably of mid-20th century date.
