Description
Farm shown on the First Edition Ordnance Survey Plan, c.1865. Named Castle Farm by 1898. An archaeological watching brief in late 2010 by ASUD revealed a wall, cellar, three stone surfaces and a well with a well-preserved wooden water pump. These features were associated with a small assemblage of pottery, glass, animal bone, wooden objects and architectural fragments of post-medieval date. These finds and features probably relate to the farm.
