Building shown on the tithe plan (1846) although it is not labelled. The Shamrock pub is listed in Whellan's directory in 1856 and was managed by John Akinson in 1873. The building was inspected during a desk based assessment in 2009. It concluded that the interior contained no original features and there was no evidence that the building had previously been two separate properties.
