Description
Two stone-faced terraces in a small garden on the east side of the valley. The lower is approximately 1.75m high and the upper 1m. The terraces are covered with heath and scrub vegetation and would probably be invisible in summer. A roofed structure, probably a small cottage, is shown in this area on the 1838 Tithe Map but no evidence of a dwelling was found by the Trust surveyor though a dense thicket just north of the terraces could hide surviving masonry. As no house is shown on the early editions of the O.S. maps it seems likely that it was abandoned in the middle of the 19th century.
