Crownhill Down Cottage and the surrounding field system are not depicted on the Plympton St Mary Tithe Map but are shown on The Ordnance Survey First Edition 25inch Map. The cottage is therefore probably mid-19th century in origin.
The cottage remains visible on aerial photographs of the 1940s and 1950s but has been destroyed by the expansion of the Headon China Clay works on digital images derived from aerial photographs of 2002.
