Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring and recording was undertaken by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) at the request of Iain Fraser (the Client), during groundwork associated with the installation of a septic tank at Gaia House, West Ogwell, Devon. This work was undertaken on the 4th and 5th of January 2018 in accordance with a WSI drawn up in consultation with Stephen Reed of the Devon County Historic Environment Team. Gaia House is a 16th century building, which may have had earlier origins and was redesigned in the Georgian period and 20th century. It is at a height of c.60m AOD, overlooking Barham's Brook. It is adjacent to the 12th century parish church. In 2010 SWARCH conducted a desk-based assessment and monitoring and recording (SWARCH Report No.101125) for an area immediately south of the site. This revealed an undated ditch of a possible medieval manorial or church enclosure that may predate the existing house. It also revealed walls and a cobbled surface associated with a barn, which although undated is depicted on the OS 1st edition map of 1888, and was demolished following damage during the hurricane of 1987. |
