'(5) Cottage (99610866), of two storeys with brick walls and a tiled roof, is of the late 18th century. Adjacent on the W. is a pair of disused gate-piers of gauged brickwork with moulded stone caps and plinths; also a low wall of neat knapped flint with ashlar and brick dressings. The piers are probably of c. 1700, the flint-work earlier. An isolated brick gate-pier with a stone ball finial some 250 yds. N. of the cottage appears to be of the 18th century.'
