Abstract: |
South West Archaeology Ltd. was commissioned to undertake historic building recording and monitoring and recording at Devonia, High Bickington, Torridge, Devon. This work was undertaken prior to- and during- works associated with the demolition of the existing outbuilding and construction of a new residential property. The existing barn is depicted on 19th century mapping, though its construction may date to a similar period as the surrounding 17th century buildings. The barn is a rustic building constructed in a traditional local form and may have origins in the later 17th century; though with later phases of remodelling in the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. The fabric and fittings provide evidence that the barn has had several function during its history, including: as a threshing barn, animal stalls and stable, milking parlour and carpenters/undertakers workshop. The archaeological monitoring identified three archaeological features, all ditches and likely reflecting phases of property division, including a former possible medieval burgage plot boundary, and two post-medieval boundaries. |
