Full Description

The Tithe Map for North Molton shows the site as a clear area in the corner of a field. [1] The 1st Edition Ordnance Survey map shows a small rectangular building, most likely a field barn, at SS 7306 3428. It has an associated enclosure abutting to the west. [2] The features are no longer depicted on modern MasterMap data. [3] The barn was remapped during an assessment for a consultation. Using LiDAR data, a more accurate footprint of the building was estimated. [4]
