Abstract:		 The historical and documentary evidence concerning the site of Sinkfall was surprisingly sparse; however, the study has revealed that the farmstead has been in existence since at least as far back as 1805. The site is possibly related to the earlier settlement of 'Bouth' or 'Booth' that is mentioned in the records of Furness Abbey and appeared to have been cleared to make way for 'Synkefall'. Hennet's map of 1830 shows a full array of farm buildings at the site by this date and it would seem likely that the earliest buildings date from the late 18th century. The building recording revealed at least seven distinct phases of building and alteration at the farm, the earliest phase represented the construction of the original linear range of farmhouse and attached threshing barn. Other buildings recorded at the site included a horse gin, shippon, a stable or loose box and a 'Paddy House'. Numerous moulded stones were evident built into the earliest structures, along with six dressed stones with masons marks. It seems likely that these stones were taken from buildings at Furness Abbey, or possibly one of its lost granges; these would pre-date the dissolution in the 1530s and may well had been incorporated in other buildings between their origins there and their re-usage at Sinkfall Farm.
