Greeves, T. A. P., 1983, Emsworthy, Ilsington (Worksheet). SDV306492.
Site visited 16/11/1983. Extensive ruins of Emsworthy farm complex apparently last occupied in World War I (according to oral information from the landowner). One building is still in use as barn with corrugated iron roof. This is though to be relatively late in date. Immediately to the south of this building and with a long axis at right angles to it are the remains of what may have been the original farm dwelling. At the east end of this structure are the remains of a massive fireplace with two upright granite slabs forming the sides of it. Other details: Scanned from a parish file source at DCC.
