Torbay HER record (SMR record). SDV361984.

Exeter Archaeology, 2003, Archaeological Assessment of the site of The Harvest Moon Public House, Grange Road, Goodrington, Paignton (Report - Assessment). SDV362389.

An archaeological assessment of the site was undertaken by Exeter Archaeology in June 2003. This comprised a desk based assessment and a site visit. In 1840-1 the site was part of the 165-acre tenement of 'Goodrington'. Prior to this its history is largely unknown. Grange Farm appears to have been built on the site around 1850 by the Belfield family and sold by their trustees, as part of the Primley estates in 1956. The sale catalogue for 1956 indicates a model farm with a Tudor-style farmhouse. The purchaser was Paignton Urban District Council. By 1967 the farm had been demolished and the Grange Public House erected.
Due to terracing it is unlikely that extensive buried remains associated with earlier settlement on the site will survive. Archaeological deposits could survive in the north and north-east of the site where terracing decreases.

Whiteaway, T., 2004, Harvest Moon Public House Field Evaluation (Report - Excavation). SDV362405.

Archaeological evaluation undertaken in connection with a planning application for the construction of a number of residential units. Five trenches totalling 42.5m were excavated at the north end of the site where potential archaeological deposits may have survived. A further 9m trench was later excavated. Limestone wall footings were exposed in T1 and T6, attributed to the 19th century. No evidence has been found for pre-19th century occupation of the site.
