A single building within an enclosing paddock is shown on the Winkleigh Tithe Map beside the road, which ran from Winkleigh to North Tawton. A building marked as Pitt's Linhay is shown in the same on the Ordnance Survey 1887 25 inch map, although it appears in outline only, possibly suggesting that it was in a derelict state at that time.
A walkover survey in December 1997 found no evidence for the building or paddock.
The proposed route of the powerline passes very close and further research is recommended before construction is permitted.
