Full description
Watts, M. A., 1997, Archaeological and Historical Survey at Gomerock, Kingswear, 15 (Report - Survey). SDV173198.
Two groups of commemorative plaques on the east wall of 'Building D' at Gomerock dating between 1883 and 1934, attest the use of the site as a dog cemetery. A line of stones lying parallel to the east wall within the building is probably associated with the cemetery.
