Pit Farm was abandoned between the 1830s and circa 1850 when Poltimore Park was expanded further to the south, increasing its size by more than one third.
Edwards, M., 2019, Pinhoe Phase 3, Devon: Geophysical Survey (Report - Survey). SDV363558.
Substrata undertook geophysical survey in advance of a planning application for an area at Poltimore, Pinhoe. Seventy nine anomaly groups were detected by the survey of which seventy seven may represent buried archaeology. This includes possible ring-ditches, trackways, field boundaries, the positions of former farm buildings as well as agricultural features.
Anomaly Group 65 is a large area of dipolar response suggesting the presence of large buried ferrous object(s). This coincides spatially with the northern end of the buildings of Pit Farm as shown on the tithe map and is most likely the demolition rubble of these former buildings including some ferrous material.
