Passmore, A. J., 2008, Archaeological Recording of the Farm Buildings at Venmore Farm, Woodbury, Devon, 2 (Report - Survey). SDV340781.

North range of yard (Barn 2) fronting the yard. Two storeyed, brick-built range, built as part of planned farmstead in mid 19th century. Towards the east end there is a large arched opening from the road with wooden doorways. To the east of the archway are two ground floor rooms with a loft aboe with a large semi-circular opening from the courtyard. Unlike the other buildings, the roof is supported on scissor braces. To the west of the covered way there is a large room with a smaller room at the west end. On the ground floor are a series of window and door openings, some now blocked. The first floor has mostly been removed. Designed and used as a shippon, it is suggested that the west room of the range was a root store. The two rooms at the east end of the building may have been harness and tack rooms, given their proximity to the stables. The first floor was a hay loft. The last agricultural use of the building was as a dairy and stores. Other details: Plate 1,3-5.
