Notes

  • 5 bee boles, one now a hole through wall and one indistinct; wall is attached to a part of house surviving from previous house (1600s); in 2 recesses, the backs are large stones visible on SE side (perhaps with gaps for bee flight) - may once have been open to SE; hole through wall (now behind oil tank on SE side) has an arched opening to SE, possibly 12x14 in. [NMR gives grid ref. as SO489176]
