The building was evaluated by Time Team during their visit to Plympton in 1999. Its basement walls were found to be pre-17th century due to the fact that a chamfered beam at head height in the basement was believed to have formerly sat on top of a wall (the others around it still being in place today), taking the line of the roof upwards.[3]
