The 1862 OS First edition County Series 1:2500 clearly shows an established and mature farm here. The enclosed Parkland of Lupton House (later layout? C.1840) respects the property boundary. The farm is present on the subsequent revisions up to and including 1968. A water course, perhaps altered by the layout of Lupton Park, runs past immediately to the east. The farm may well be a relict of the original settlement of Lochetona (qv MTO15851; SX95NW/32).
The site has also been considered to be sufficently well situated to have been the settlement associated with Noss Hillfort [SX85SE/21 - South Hams DC].
