Full Description
The site is depicted as a clear plot on the Kentisbury Tithe Map. [1] The 1st and 2nd Edition Ordnance Survey maps both depict a group of three buildings with a few small enclosures here, labelled Higher Week. These buildings have since been extended and added to. [2-4] The farmstead was visited in December 1996. A 19th Century long shaped house with attached farm building was noted, with a conglomeration of farm buildings behind it, some of which included a few small 19th Century rubble structures but mostly 20th Century blockwork.
