Full description
Devon County Council, 1838-1848, Tithe Mosaic, approximately 1838-1848 (Cartographic). SDV349431.
Building is depicted on the Tithe Map at this location; small rectangular building.
Ordnance Survey, 1880-1899, First Edition Ordnance 25 inch map (Cartographic). SDV336179.
Building shown on the late 19th century historic map appears different from that on the Tithe Map; shown more as a square building but this may be down to the way it has been depicted as the Second Edition map matches the Tithe Map depiction more closely.

This map matches the Tithe Map depiction (and outline shown on the modern map).

The building is currently a roofless ruin, and was until recently engulfed by undergrowth and small trees. It is not listed in its own right, and may be too far from the house for being considered to be within its curtilage for listing purposes. Wall construction in the building is composed of semi-coursed granite and slate rubble, bonded with sandy lime mortar, with some later cement pointing. Two stone sources are evident including recycled stone from older buildings on the site. These include at least one piece of carved granite door jamb of 16th to 17th century date. The floors of the buildings and the courtyard alongside are likely to have been cobbled. The roof was Welsh slate.
