I stood in the field entrance and used the telephoto end of my zoom lens to frame the engine house with the bales in the field in front of it. According to Stephen Polglase's thoroughly researched and well-illustrated "Book of Breage and Germoe: the heart of the Godolphin tin dynasty" this engine house held a 40-inch cylinder steam engine and it ceased work in 1885.
