No sign of FB although I wasn't allowed a really good look. The house has a new porch and an extension just where I would expect the FB to be so I suspect it is covered up. I spoke to the occupants who were friendly but didn't want me to take any photographs (I had already taken a shot of the general view from the road). They knew what I was looking for but were not aware the existence of an FB on their property although they did point out the cut BM on the barn. They had had a couple of previous visits from people searching for the FB but no-one has logged it here so I don't know who that was. I felt I was intruding so didn't hang about too long.
