Introduction
A heritage statement was prepared by AC archaeology for a group of agricultural buildings at Hareston Farm, Brixton, Devon. The farm is situated roughly equidistant between Ivybridge and Yealmpton and Brixton. The main architectural interest is in the early 20th-century new build of a model farm. This is a late example of purpose-built dairy farms of this type. The northwest range appears to predominantly have been for the delivery, storage and preparation of feed, with the central and southwest wings, and the rooms between the wings and part of the northeast wing used for the sheltering of the cows. The remainder of the northeast wing appears to have been used for workshops and the storage of machinery and/or carts.
