Sheviock Barton House, SX 36955504, is a 16/17th century rubble-built house with hipped slate roofs and brick and plastered stacks. Carew, writing at the end of the 16th century, described it as decayed, and Gilbert in 1820 found it much altered and damaged. It presumably stands on the site of the 14th century crenellated house of the Dawney family, although Kempthorne mentions a possible alternative site for this (SX 35 SE 17).
Sheviok Barton barn stands at SX 37005500, within the curtilage of the barton. A tradition related by Carew ascribes its building to Emmeline Dawney in the 14th century. The roof collapsed in 1836 and was rebuilt at a lower level. The south wall was rebuilt with the original stone in 1938. (2-5)
House dated 1682 on a stone by the front door but possibly with earlier origins. Altered and extended in the late 18th century, mid to late 19th century and the 20th century. It is two storeyed and built of stone rubble with a slate roof. It may stand on the site of the 14th century house of the Dawney family, granted a licence to crenallate in 1336. Listed Grade II.
