Full Description
It is unclear whether the buildings described (in MHG12725) were all storehouses (and thus NMRS No NC 56 NE 1) or if, as seems likely, at least one of them was a dwelling and therefore part of the village proper (and thus NMRS No NC 56 SE 26). The rest of the village of Port Vasgo consists of a mixture of inhabited modern houses, renovated older ones and ruinous buildings located outwith the area of this survey. <1>
