Abstract: |
South West Archaeology undertook a survey and monitoring at a farm now known as Plaistow Barton, formerly known as West Plaistow with a corresponding farmstead called Plaistow to the east. It is not clear whether Plaistow Barton was an original manorial centre or demesne farm, as the current mid-19th century name might imply, but substantial earthworks are located a short distance to the east of the current farm. The existing buildings are of post-medieval origin (17th century), having undergone numerous changes in the 19th and 20th centuries, no earlier fabric was recorded and no earlier features or finds were uncovered. For the buildings, four main phases were identified, with the development of Plaistow Barton reflecting the changing fortunes and fashions in North Devon agriculture over the last 350 years. |
