A small farm house one storey high high and slated. The offices are in indifferent repair, but are going to be rebuilt, there is a small vegetable garden attached. The correct name appears to be "Over Cassock" derived from a legend in which it is stated that a priest lost his Cassock in crossing Bar Burn near the Camp, this single circumstance is all all that is remembered of the original tale. It has been called "over Causeway" from a Roman road being supposed to have passed near it: no trace of this road or its situation remains. |
