Abstract:		 The buildings at Week form an interesting group of structures with a complex evolution that reflects the changing circumstances and social needs within the Berry Pomeroy estate. Historic documentation suggests that there were medieval origins to the structures, evidence of which is suggested by the finer quality buttressed stonework which may indicate the presence of an 'L'-shaped structure during this period. During the 16th century there was a phase of re-modelling of the property, several of the walls re-built, though it appears likely that the structure remained on the same 'L'-shaped footprint. Where there is surviving evidence, the remaining 'house' can be seen to have been divided into two ground-floor and two first-floor rooms, the south-western end being residential and the north-eastern of a service character. A period of renovation, demolition, and consolidation appears to have followed during the 18th century. The evaluation trenching does not add much detail to the information provided by the building recording. No structural features were identified within the trenches; though sections of low wall adjacent to one of the trenches indicates the presence of an additional former structure at the south-eastern edge of the current yard, possibly dating to the 18th-19th century farmyard. The construction cut for the terracing of B1 into the hillside was identified within Trench 01; whilst Trenches 02 and 03 only identified a modern yard surface directly overlying the natural, suggesting that any buried trace of former structures has likely been lost.
