A grade II listed building of the 17th century. Also known in the past as 'Gun Cottage'. The name is thought to derive from an ironmaster at Brickwall a short distance to the south because he kept his guns and shot here. It is also said once to have been an inn, the Dog & Gun, and may have been used by smugglers, as were many older buildings in the area.
