Notes
-
A bee bole or possibly the remains of a bee shelter, situated behind outbuildings and difficult to survey fully at present. Overgrown but owner would like to restore.
Update March 2022: The bee boles are now restored. Newly-built skeps that it is hoped will house bees at some point have been placed within. The skeps were made by Chris Park, a skep-maker and skep-beekeeper based in Oxfordshire.
