Full description

South West Heritage Trust, 1838-1848, Digitised Tithe Maps and Transcribed Apportionments (Cartographic). SDV359954.

Building does not appear to be depicted on the Tithe Map, which appearantly only shows the farmhouse.

Ordnance Survey, 1880-1899, First Edition Ordnance 25 inch map (Cartographic). SDV336179.

Later 19th century historic map possibly shows the barn, at the eastern end of the farmhouse.

Ordnance Survey, 1904 - 1906, Second Edition Ordnance Survey 25 inch Map (Cartographic). SDV325644.

The early 20th century historic map clearly shows this building which is now joined to the northern shippon by a range at the north-eastern end. Small toilet room now depicted on the southern side of the building.

Buildings on the farm noted as being in poor condition. Building no 4 is a high-roofed barn adjacent to the stables and farmhouse, in the corner of the range. The eastern wall had completely collapsed and a large pile of rubble was all that remained (figure 10). A small outhouse (Building 5) was recognisable on the south-east corner of the barn.
Undated sketch plan and notes by Deborah Griffiths. Building 4 (Barn). May have had more than one use; large opening suggests secondary use. May have served as a shippon; there is a drainage hole in the eastern end of the building and three square lights above at eaves height. Possible that this was a house with shippon, later converted to barn. Earthy mortar noted.

Depicted on the modern mapping as a ruined structure.
