Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Oakford Archaeology in April 2014 during building work at Shuttaford Farm, Holne. The site lies in the southeast corner of the parish, close to the river Dart. Shuttaford House is a grade II listed farm building. The layout perpetuates that of an earlier house which was first constructed as a three room and cross-passage house in the 16th century, with a later 17th century parlour wing and porch, and 20th century alterations. A watching brief was maintained during works associated with the removal of existing concrete floor surfaces in the lounge and study. The initial ground reduction for the new flooring extended to a depth of 0.35-0.4m. The removal of concrete floors exposed no deposits, features or dating evidence indicative of archaeological activity. The work uncovered a simple sequence consisting of a 0.05-0.1m thick concrete floor located above blue plastic sheeting. This was in turn overlying a mid yellowish-brown silty clay natural subsoil with frequent shillet inclusions. This is the only report on these works. |
