Description This house was enlarged after the publication of the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map in the 1830s. Elizabeth Ferrally was leasing the property from the Pakenham estate at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s when it was valued at £9. The Valuation Office books of 1838 also noted her as the owner when the house had a valuation of almost £6. A house is still extant at the site.
