Clyne Farm is located above the west side of the Clyne valley, on the north-east side of Clyne Common out of which the holding was carved in the eighteenth century.
The name `Clyne Farm? first appears on a plan of 1760 and is first described in Powell's survey of 1764. However, the complex of buildings now known as `Clyne Farm? does not appear on the map and clearly did not then exist. They were constructed on a new site between 1779 and 1784, as required by the terms of a lease dated 1779. The holding as illustrated in 1760, despite the absence of Clyne Farm buildings, was more extensive than it is today. In addition to the present holding, also included were enclosures alongside Mill Lane around Underhill cottage, in the area later occupied by Woodlands (Clyne) Castle and land to the east of it, and also enclosures close to the Clyne river. Four occupied buildings are also portrayed, presumably the dwellings of tenants listed by name in the 1764 survey as occupying `a tenement of lands known as Clyne Farm?. The two westernmost buildings, within the modern enclosures but adjacent to the common, are now in ruins; the others, Underhill and 11, Mill Lane are still occupied, though the former has recently been demolished and replaced by a modern building.
