Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Oakford Archaeology between September and October 2017 during building work at Shuttaford Farm, Holne, Devon. A watching brief was maintained during works associated with the removal of existing concrete floors and creation of multi-level interior. The ground reduction extended to a depth of 0.35-0.4m. The removal of concrete floor exposed elements of an earlier cobbled surface (Fig. 2, pl. 1-2) inside the barn. Unfortunately, the modern concrete floor had been poured directly on top of the earlier surface resulting in its complete removal. The cobbled surface consisted of medium size worn stones on a bed of sand that overlay the natural subsoil. The barn is shown for the first time on the 1889 1st edition Ordnance Survey map and although no finds were recovered during the works it is likely that the floor is late 19th century in date. No deposits, features or dating evidence indicative of earlier archaeological activity was found following the removal of the cobbled floor. |
