Babeny Farm, Dartmoor
Former Devon longhouse, early-mid C16, with house end ruined, though shippon and passage remain intact and still in agricultural use. On right-hand wall of passage, now the gable end, is a large granite-framed fireplace, with an absolutely massive lintel, which although nicely shaped is probably far larger than was necessary and must have been extremely difficult to manoeuver into place.
