Griffiths, W.B., 1985, Some Observations on a Ruined Cottage in the Village of Kellaton, South Devon (Un-published). SDV354589.

Before its destruction by fire in 1927, the ruined cottage in Kellaton was a typical two storey thatched, whitewashed , rural Devon house/cottage. From the style of the building it is possible parts of it could date back to the 17th century. It appears to have been constructed of slate stone up to the height of the first floor, the walls above being of cob construction, and the alignment of walls suggests the possibility that the house was constructed in several phases. The staircase, now covered by debris, appears to have been spiral, and constructed of stone rather than wood, and the floor was of thick slate stone slabs.
