Abstract: |
The results of a desk-based assessment and archaeological monitoring carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) at Redhill Barn, Blackawton, Devon in advance and during the conversion of the building into a residential property. The barn is of one main constructional phase (c.1810) with one significant phase of alteration, the creation of the loading door in the south elevation. Several later alterations/repairs have also occurred. The barn was used for the housing of cattle on the ground floor, with a hay/feed loft on the upper floor. The building is of local pale buff-coloured sandstone, with some shale/mudstone. The roof has been lost and almost all of the internal fitments and both the timber first floor and historic ground floor surface have not survived. The archaeological monitoring and recording along the route of the service trench and new access revealed two land drains, two ditches associated with existing hedgebank boundaries, two pits associated with the south-east corner of Copse Field and that one of the existing gateways has been forced, in the early 19th century. |
