Full Description

The back wall and part of the partition walls of a building are visible at the bottom of the steep slope below the conduit house [SMR 215]. This, another building and two ponds below them are shown on the 1840 Tithe map. The buildings may have been kennels. At the time of a site visit in 1985, the walls were in bad condition, with rubble inside the building and nettles growing on it. (1) The 1st edition 25" OS map of c. 1880 labels the building situated here as a kennel. The kennel is still in use in the early 20th century. The building is not marked on modern OS mapping [2013].
