Full description

Walls, S. + Bampton, J., 01/08/2012, Poole Farm, Slapton, Results of a Desk-Based Assessment Additional Historic Building Recording Archaeological Watching Brief, 27, (Report - Excavation). SDV350166.

The farmhouse is a two-storey building of mortared slate rubble with gabled east and west ends and a shallow pitched slate roof. Early 19th century construction, although part of the wall is constructed of dressed coursed slate, possibly bonded in clay and is most likely 16th-17th century in date. This remnant of an earlier structure is most likley a surviving part of later additions made to a late medieval house which may have occupied a similar location and orientation, probably beneath the front rooms of the present house.
