Farmstead record BUD 018 - Farmstead: Hill Top Farm (Hill Farm)

Hill Farm is a farmstead visible on the 1st Ed OS map and the Bruisyard Tithe map. The farmhouse is listed and dates to the 16th century. The farmstead is laid out in a linear plan with the farmhouse detached and set away from the yard. The yard is laid out in a parallel plan with additonal linear ranges. There has been significant loss (50%) of the working buildings with larger modern working buildings on site.

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.
