Description
Information from NRHE
The site of Twitty Fee (house) is clearly discernible, the plateau on which it stood being occupied by more modern barns, but there is a cottage close by with 16th century work on it. <1>
Field survey, 1976
The house site could not be positively identified. The barns <1> have been demolished and the 16th century cottage, which stood at TL 79320628, was, according to the owner, demolished in 1967. <2>
Field survey, 1987
Twitty Fee leads to a modern house built around 1970 called Robins Wood, which according to the owner was built on the site of the 16th century cottage. No sign of the original Twitty Fee was seen; presumably it lies beneath the present house and grounds. <3>
