These were an entrance to Wiseton Hall, although most older OS maps do not show the existence of a driveway. They are listed as being early 19th century. They are in a very dilapidated state, but current satellite views show them as heavily overgrown, so some improvement has been made. Listed Grade II. Postscript - August 2011 I have been contacted by the local Conservation Officer for Bassetlaw to say that the lodges are currently being restored, with the roofs already completed. It will be good to see how they look when the whole work is finished.
