Full description
The 2nd edition OS 6 inch map records Roscarrock as the "remains of a barton" (b1). It is a Listed Building, Grade I and is described in the listing as an extensive and interesting group of buildings of C15/early C16 origin, re-fashioned at various dates. The front range was re-fashioned in the C18. The range of buildings is roughly quadrangular (b2).
The house has a simple walled garden and a raised walk (4).
A site visit by the OS revealed that the house is well preserved and incorporates C16 features (h1). A visit by CAU revealed a possible gunloop at SW 9874 8045. This was a greenstone block, pierced with a dumb-bell shaped hole. The stone was found redeposited with other stones including a granite moulding. The gunloop is similar to examples on the ground floor at Pengersick Castle and suggests that Roscarrock manor house may have been partly fortified (h2).
