Abstract: |
South West Archaeology Ltd. were asked by Jonathan Rhind of Johnathan Rhind Conservation Architects (the Agent) on behalf of the Fortescue Family (the Clients) to undertake building recording and evaluative trenching at the former Kennels site in the parkland at Castle Hill, Filleigh, North Devon. This work was undertaken in advance of the construction of a new castellated folly designed to mimic one that had formerly stood on or close to the site. The site is currently marked by a ruinous enclosure defined by stone walls. These walls enclosed a yard associated with, but located behind, the castellated folly which was built in the early 18th century. This folly was demolished in the late 19th century and the yard used for housing and feeding cattle. The north and east walls stand up to 2.4m high, but the south and east walls have disappeared; the stonework is itself of poor quality and of little intrinsic merit. An evaluation carried out in advance located an internal wall but no floor surfaces, and the remains of the folly lie to the south and beyond the footprint of the proposed development. |
