Waterhouse, R., 2007, Pool Farm, Slapton: An Archaeological Appraisal (Report - Assessment). SDV343267.

Stable, later shippon and hayloft at Pool Farm appears to have been built as a stable flanking the outer court of the Medieval house. It retains traces of multiple mouldings on the oak lintels over the ground floor doors and windows facing east into the yard. These may date to the late 16th or early 17th century. The roof originally had raised cruck trusses but the present slate roof was added in the 19th century. A root house and hayloft were added to the northend of this building in the early 19th century
