Full description
Devon County Council, 1838-1848, Tithe Mosaic, approximately 1838-1848 (Cartographic). SDV349431.
Tithe Map shows four buildings arranged around a yard; two adjoining on the north/north-west sides of the yard and two separate buildings on the east / south sides. An L-shaped building in the eastern corner of the farm appears likely to have been the farmhouse.
Ordnance Survey, 1880-1899, First Edition Ordnance 25 inch map (Cartographic). SDV336179.
The late 19th century historic map shows that by this time the farm appears almost abandoned; only a single structure remains (MDV78096); the barn.
Humphreys, C., 2003 - 2005, Dartmoor National Park Authority Farmstead Survey 2003-2005, HF009 (Report - Survey). SDV344545.
Farmstead included in survey. Visited on 17/10/2003. Single building dated to the 1830s or earlier recorded; 'Jobbers Barn'.

The modern mapping only shows the remaining barn and the plot containing it, which is rather smaller than the extent of the farm as depicted on the Tithe Map.
