Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Oakford Archaeology in July 2020 at Wayland's Cottage, Ideford, Devon. The house is a Grade II Listed Building, in the centre of the historic village of Ideford, a settlement of possible Saxon origin and recorded in the 1086 Domesday survey as 'Yudaforda'. The layout of the building, including the adjacent Cherrytrees Cottage, perpetuates that of an earlier house which was probably first constructed as a three room and cross-passage house in the early 17th century. A watching brief was maintained during the excavation of the foundations for the extension. The works entailed the excavation of foundation trenches totalling c.18.5m in length, 0.6m wide and 0.75m deep, revealing compact red clay natural subsoil at a depth of 0.2m below current ground level. The work exposed the robbed-out remains of a large outbuilding, first shown on the 1839 tithe map, and the possible remains of an earlier quarry pit. A small assemblage of 18th-19th century pottery was recovered from the single fill of the pit. |
