Full description
South West Heritage Trust, 1838-1848, Digitised Tithe Maps and Transcribed Apportionments, Plot 373 (Cartographic). SDV359954.
Rectangular building aligned east-west with small outshut on norther side (eastern end) depicted on the Tithe Map.
Ordnance Survey, 1880-1899, First Edition Ordnance 25 inch map (Cartographic). SDV336179.
The late 19th century historic map depiction (and later early 20th century edition) largely matches the Tithe Map depiction of the barn. It appears slightly shorter so the eastern end may have been altered slightly.
