Abstract:
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Oakford Archaeology in November 2015 during building work at Challamoor Farm, Buckland-in-the-Moor, Devon. The site lies in the centre of the parish, close to the river Dart. Challamoor Farm is first mentioned in the 14th century. The main house burnt down in the 20th century, was extensively rebuilt and later extended. From a photograph taken in 1904 it is clear that the layout perpetuates that of an earlier house which was first constructed as a three room and cross-passage house The work was therefore required by the Dartmoor National Park Authority. A watching brief was maintained during works associated with the construction of an extension to the existing building. A small foundation trench for the extension, 19.5m long, 0.6m wide and 0.75m deep, was excavated against the western side of Challamoor House. No deposits, features or dating evidence indicative of archaeological activity was found. The lack of pottery and other artefacts from the site, despite examination of spoil heaps, further indicates that the site is archaeologically sterile.
