Summary

This large 15th century brick and flint barn has various post medieval elements. South of the barn is a pond, a dammed stream, a culvert, a flint lined well and walls from two ruined flint buildings. These features are probably the remains of a post medieval tannery. Animal bones, medieval and post medieval pottery sherds and undated millstones have been collected from this site.
