Full Description
Kenny Hill Farm is a farmstead visible on the 1st Ed os map. The farmstead sits alongside a public road in an isolated location. The farmstead is laid out in a regular multi yard with the farmhouse detached and set away from the yard. The farmstead sits alongside a public road in an isolated location. Only the farmhouse remains with modern sheds on site. (S1-4)
A 19th C flint and brick single-threshing floor barn, which is part of a much altered farmstead (S5).
Recorded as part of the Farmsteads in the Suffolk Countryside Project. This is a purely desk-based study and no site visits were undertaken. These records are not intended to be a definitive assessment of these buildings. Dating reflects their presence at a point in time on historic maps and there is potential for earlier origins to buildings and farmsteads. This project highlights a potential need for a more in depth field study of farmstead to gather more specific age data.
