Abstract: |
South West Archaeology Ltd. was commissioned to undertake the historic building recording of the 'old ruins', Maudlins Park, Tavistock, Devon. This work was undertaken in order to assess the fabric affected by the development of the site and establish the historical and archaeological context for these 'ruins'. Archaeological monitoring and recording of groundworks of the upper (western) plot was also be undertaken. The site consists of two building plots on the edge of the historic core of Tavistock. The overall setting has a strong 19th century character. The 'old ruins' are comprised of the slatestone/killas rubblestone walls of a relatively small sub-rectangular building with small brick outshut to the east corner, enclosed within the west end of a walled garden plot running back from the houses along Ford Street. A general lack of architectural detail means they can only be broadly dated to the early to mid-19th century. The archaeological monitoring of the upper (western) plot identified a total of five features, likely dating from the post-medieval and modern periods; and reflecting the historic development of the plot as part of the grounds of the former leper hospital or workhouse situated to the north-east; and subsequent 20th century development of the site. |
