Monument record MDO50963 - Post Medieval agricultural building and pond, Penmore Road, Sandford Orcas

The 1st and 2nd ed OS maps show a 'C-shaped' building, open to the west, with an associated enclosure and pond. The structure is visible in 1947, but appears to have been partially ruinous, with only the north range being roofed, and the structure was not extant in 1997. Any remains were likely destroyed when the area was levelled circa 2016. The pond remains visible as a slight depression visible in LiDAR imagery. <1-6>
