Recorded as part of the Farmsteads in the Suffolk Countryside Project. This is a purely desk-based study and no site visits were undertaken. These records are not intended to be a definitive assessment of these buildings. Dating reflects their presence at a point in time on historic maps and there is potential for earlier origins to buildings and farmsteads. This project highlights a potential need for a more in depth field study of farmstead to gather more specific age data.

Two 16th C timber-framed aisled barns, infilled with brick nogging and with tiled roofs. One barn was used for stabling at one end, whilst the other contained integral cartlodges at either end (S1).
