A building is marked on the tithe map of 1841 to the north-west of Abbeyfields. The first edition Ordnance Survey map of 1874 depicts two buildings and a pump in this area; with a small square building marked to the south-east of the main building shown on the tithe. The buildings are not shown on the Ordnance Survey map of 1909. A track (Site 12) linked the buildings to Abbeyfields. The tithe award gives no indication of the function of the building(s).
