Ellerslie Farm's outbuildings stand at Ellerslie, in the parish of Marown near Crosby. The locality is historically associated with lead mining: in the nineteenth century, the entrepreneur George Dumbell operated the Mona Mine at Ellerslie, Crosby, placing the mine engineer Richard Rowe in charge of the works. Available sources do not establish whether the surviving farm outbuildings are connected to this mining operation, and no further verified detail about the buildings themselves was found online.
