The former site of Arkleston House
Image: © Lairich Rig Taken: 19 May 2018
The house, now gone, had earlier been known as West Arkleston. At the time of writing, North Arkleston and South Arkleston survive as working farms, and East Arkleston as ruins: Image / Image / Image Although Arkleston House is gone, some traces remains, such as the wall (a little to the west of the house) shown in Image (it probably separated the house's garden from a track that ran beside it). Other low footings are visible nearby. The site of the house itself is still evident, to an extent, as a clearing, the one in which the present picture was taken; the site has not yet become overgrown to the extent that it blends in with the surrounding woods.
