Full Description
'Folly Cottage', a post medieval house within a small rectangular plot, is depicted on the 1st and 2nd ed OS maps. The house had been demolished by 1947, and the plot is visible only as a patch of rough ground. Any surviving earthworks are difficult to differenciate from the surrounding strip lynchets in LiDAR imagery. <1-4>
