The building is shown in the 1844 Tithe Map, which also shows a gate across the turnpike road! The two windows enable the turnpike toll collector to see approaching traffic (horses and carts in those days). Nowadays the road is the B3151. The building has tilted over due to being built on peat, though it is inhabited and in good condition.
