Gazetteer No. 46 Site of Carrwood
The 1770 survey shows 2 buildings on this site which was then called "Cow Hey"; the ite is described as "a messuage, outhousing and crofts" The same buildings appear to be shown on later maps but the site is vacant on the modern OS map. Brick and stone debris is evident on the ground. Among the debris there are a number of perforated tiles od stone and brick. Such tiles are associated with drying kilns. There is no documentary evidence for a Kiln at Carrwood. Although there is for Norbury Mill, across the stream. Therefore, some of this debris may belong to Norbury Mill. Below this site in the south bank of Norbury Brook is the entrance/ exit to an unmderground, stone lined water channel, which may have supplied water to the site.
