Sorry I don't know anything about the history of the place, but if abandoned about 140 years ago, maybe that would tie in with the Disaforesting Act of 1860ish, which enclosed and then sold off some of the high moorland, which many farmers had used for summer grazing for centuries. Add to this Cholera & the promotion of emigration to the New World, and you wonder why anybody stayed on this windswept isle!
