Moor Cock Inn was the subject of an archaeological assessment by Colum Giles in 1980 as part of the WYAS/RCHME Rural Houses Survey. The photographic images produced by the assessment are held by WYAAS (Giles, C. (WYAS/RCHME). 1980). The brief fieldwork record card is transcribed below:

Recessed chamfered mullion windows on ground floor, flush splayed windows on first floor. Large original stack on east gable suggests early 18th century date. No sign of original door?
