Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring was undertaken during the reduction of the floor level within the Grade II Listed Cart Shed at Bere Barton, Bere Ferrers, Devon. The site of Bere Barton has a long and significant history, and was seemingly established in the 12th century on the acquisition of the manor by the Ferrers family. Portions of the Grade II* Listed house may date back to a fortified manor of the 14th century, but the present building is primarily of 18th century date. The cart shed itself is a 3-bay 18th/19th century modification of a large medieval Great Barn. A 1737 estate map by Hobart does not depict the cart shed, but this does not mean that the cartshed was not present at this date, as the map does not generally depict agricultural buildings. The 1842 tithe map depicts the cartshed as a considerably more complex building than the surviving structure, with additional elements projecting to the east and south. These had seemingly been largely demolished by the time of the 1896 Ordnance Survey 1st Edition although a small portion may have survived as a separate detached building to the east (which was demolished between 1906 and 1954). The required monitoring simply included the reduction of the floor levels within the two (now surviving as one) southern compartments of the cart shed (a total area of 7.6x11.4m). |
