Abstract: |
South West Archaeology Ltd. was commissioned to undertake a programme of historic building recording and archaeological monitoring in advance of conversion works to the barn complex at Chelfham Barton, Bratton Fleming. The northerly of the two threshing barns was to be partially demolished during these works, as it is structurally unsound and this work, as well as the lifting of the extant concrete floors and some service trenching in the vicinity of the barns was also monitored. The barns do not hold any stand-alone listing but are protected under the curtilage of the Listed farmhouse. The complex is in very poor condition, that being said, the earlier stonework seen in certain walls and details such as slate slab weather courses inform on the complex narrative of the sites wider significance and contribute to the wider setting of the Listed Barton-house. The evidential value seen in the ruined structures suggests that the barns contain fragments of semi-domestic outbuildings which once served the Hall. The monitoring of the concrete surface removal identified that the north-eastern section of walling in the L-shaped range had sturdy foundations which may represent the adaption of an original exterior courtyard wall associated with the medieval phases of activity on the site. |
