It makes sense about the grant (I didn't know about that) and you are right that it was the old stone built hoses which were in ruin. I must say I thought these were much nicer houses than the modern pre-fabs however better the facilities. Pity they couldn't have renovated the old buildings?
A few years back we got talking to the lovely elderly inhabitant of the house at Fang circle ( http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/567/fang_circle.html) and iirc her husband was born in the first ruined croft past the modern box house and his grandmother was born in the ruined croft built on the circle...
Though reading the fang comments, maybe it was just one ruined croft and a sheep thingamy built about the circle. Its been a while...
