Ruin of a substantial stone house on a former track north west of Offerton Hall. Possibly medieval. (5) The ruin is not Medieval. (6)
Banktop Farm (site of). Today a two-storey field barn stands, with an adjacent yard. To the south-east are the ruins of a farmhouse, the walls standing up to c. 1m high with much rubble surrounding them. The construction is gritstone ashlar and the dwelling had two main ground floor rooms, both small, and two attached subsidiary areas. Adjacent to the buildings were further small yards which can be partially traced today as levelled areas. The house and yards fell out of use and were demolished sometime between 1848 and 1926. The date of origin of the farm is not known; it is marked on the OS map of c. 1840 but could be substantially earlier. The site may be that of Glouer House (Glover House), recorded in 1609. While the ashlar construction of the house suggests a relatively late date, it may well be built on the site of an earlier dwelling. (7)
