The present Thinnacombes barn (Ordnance Survey 6 inch historic map) has all the appearance of being an 18th century linhay with no earlier traces. This does however lie on a green lane whereas the site under discussion has no clear access. It may have been 'walled in' or falling into disrepair and is now under trees whereas it was in a clear enclosure at the time of the Tithe Map.
