There is some doubt regarding this house, which is possibly also known as Upper Westercroft.
House dated SA WA HIE 1624. Built by Samuel Appleyard. It was owned by Smith Kay
It was demolished around 1900 in order to reach the stone beneath the building.
During quarrying in 1856, a collection of 2 bronze spearheads and 8 bronze axes were found. This may have been a hoard put aside for safekeeping
