Indicated

On S-facing slope of a ridge in grassland. Poorly preserved shell of a rectangular two-storey building (E-W; L 22.7m, Wth 8.6m), possibly of late 17th/18th-C date. The upper storey is contained within the pitch of the roof. Only fragmentary sections of S wall still stand, in which at least three opes are visible; the N wall is completely gone. The main architectural features are the steeply pitched gables, each crowned by a tall rectangular chimney stack. There are two flues on ground floor, in both gables, possibly for fireplaces and ovens. Above these, on 1st floor, are separate flues, probably for fireplaces, each flanked by rectangular windows.
