Remarks
No 46 is good Meadow flooded in the Winter Season by the River Ouse which makes it produce good crops of hay.
No 95 was mostly ploughed Land now laid down for a Cow Pasture; some of the wet parts should be underdrained.
Nos 109, 110, 111 and 112 are ploughed land at a great and very inconvenient distance from the Farm House;
There is a Barn on No 109 which was built soon after the Inclosure.

Listed in the Posse Comitatus of Olney 1798 as having 6 horses, 1 waggon and 2 carts.
