Historic building recording was carried out by AC archaeology during repairs to the roof of South Yeo Farmhouse, Poughill, Devon (SS 86498 08502). South Yeo is a late medieval farmhouse that was altered in the 16th, 17th and 20th centuries. It is Grade II* listed (National Heritage List no. 1250718), and the work was required as a condition of the grant of listed building consent.
The building has a typical three-room and cross passage plan with an open hall. The lower room was floored over, probably from the start. Further first-floor accommodation was provided in the 16th-century with a jettied room over the hall and cross passage. The building was extended in the 17th-century with first-floor accommodation provided throughout. Changes were made to the roof in the late 17th or 18th century, and the covering was entirely replaced in the 20th century. During that century a new wing was added to the south of the main range.
