Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Oakford Archaeology in October 2020 during renovation work at Brinscott, Holcombe Rogus, Devon. The house is a Grade II Listed building, lying between the historic villages of Holcombe Rogus to the southwest and Holywell Lake to the northeast. The layout of the building perpetuates that of an earlier house which was probably first constructed as a three room and cross-passage house in the 15th century. The house was fully floored by the 17th century and a large wing added to the east end. The building was extensively remodelled in the 19th century and the rear extension added in the 20th century. A watching brief was maintained during works associated with the removal of existing concrete floor surfaces throughout the ground floor. The ground reduction for the new flooring extended to a depth of 0.3m. The removal of the existing concrete floor throughout the property revealed a simple deposit sequence above the natural red clay. No archaeological features, deposits or artefacts were exposed during the works. |
