There are ruins of around 14 buildings here and although it was a medieval village, abandoned in the 15th century, one of the buildings was still occupied in 1814.

Being in the Doone Valley, the village also has a connection with RD Blackmore's 1869 novel, 'Lorna Doone'. It is thought that it is where the Doone family lived after their exile from Scotland.
