Full description

Buildings shown on 19th century map to the south of the road at Kerswill.


Child, P., 2003, Untitled Source (Correspondence). SDV340724.

Corn barn built to the south of 'Kerswill farm' with one gable end built into a bank. The traditional 18th century stone barn has been heavily altered to create cattle shippons with lofts above and re-roofed in the late 19th or early 20th century with little of the original character remaining. A further 18th or early 19th century stone building to the south at SX73615843 may have originated as an open fronted linhay.
