This is a nucleated village positioned at the crossing of ways and once close to the railway line that ran through the Anghof valley. It is said that the Normans who established themselves here forced the natives to abandon their scattered dwellings and move into a settlement where they could be more effectively controlled. There remain quite a number of this simple, single-storey cottages that would perhaps have once been thatched.
