Full description

Child, P. C., 2002, Farm buildings at West Irishborough (Correspondence). SDV322741.

Building A. U-shaped range of which two sections were later 19th century stables and the third, eastern section an earlier cow shippon. There are three sets of stables, each with their own door and flanking widows. They have brick dressings, typical of the later 19th century period and are lofted and ventilated with slits. The number of stables is unusual for a Devon farm and may be related to the use of horses in the adjacent quarry. The shippon is constructed of a mixture of stone rubble and cob under a slate roof and has the remains of cattle stalls on two sides of a central passageway. Map object based on this source.
