Information from RCAHMS (SAH) 14 March 1997

Current AP's show modern houses sit over the footprint of the earlier settlement; however four existing ruins and possibly a byre on the southern side of the road remain intact which are likely to relate the 6" OS map sheet . One building is located between the houses at (NG07988693); the others are below the the road end to the east. The whole area is characterised by extensive cultivation ridging.
