Abstract:		 This report has been prepared for Mr and Mrs Williams, and presents the results of archaeological recording undertaken by Exeter Archaeology in 2008, at Great Beere Farm, North Tawton, Devon. The structure is a most substantial range of purpose-built farm buildings which was probably constructed in a single phase. The original form of the buildings comprised a central threshing barn and northern and southern linhays, parts of which may have functioned as open-sided barns. The scale of the building is extremely impressive for a vernacular farm building, though the size of the farmhouse also reflects an exceptionally large and prosperous farming establishment. The building may have formed part of a phase of formal replanning and improvement of the farm buildings at Great Beere, perhaps in the early 18th century. The other ranges of buildings shown on Jope and Threlfall's plan may have been added at the same time, though they have unfortunately been demolished in the 20th century. If the proposed dating of the barn is correct this would be an early example of the formal replanning of a Devon farmyard to create a 'model farm'. The buildings are of high quality and suggest a period of considerable prosperity at Great Beere.
