Abstract: |
South West Archaeology conducted a historic building survey, archaeological evaluation and watching brief in advance and during the proposed development of the former Wattson''s Shop fitter''s premises, 4-6 Countess Wear Road, Exeter. The site revealed no evidence of occupation from before the 19th century and yielded little in terms of finds. The 19th century site was agricultural in function but from the mid 20th century it was converted for light industrial use, the works for which entailed considerable disturbance to below ground deposits. The barn appears to have been built in the mid 19th century as a single storey building with a pine tiebeam and kingpost roof structure, and two large opposed, centrally placed doorways. An extension was added shortly after this date but there was little change until the mid 20th century when the building was modified for use associated firstly with a garage and then an engineering works on the site. |
