Abstract:		 South West Archaeology Ltd. was commissioned to undertake a programme of historic building recording and archaeological monitoring in advance of works to the former Blacksmith's Cottage at Woodford, Blackawton to convert the structure into a residential dwelling. The manor of Blackawton is recorded at Domesday as Avetona, its name possibly meaning 'settlement on the river'. The 'black' element is first recorded in 1281 and may be a reference to the dark soils of the area. Woodford is a hamlet located within the parish of Blackawton, just to the west of that settlement. A building appears to be shown in the location of the Blacksmith's Cottage on historic mapping dating from the beginning of the 19th century; census data shows that Thomas Pulling was a blacksmith resident in Woodford until his death in 1888, after which a smithy is no longer recorded in the settlement. The Blacksmith's Cottage is shown continually as a structure on mapping up to the present day, although its use appears to have changed from residential to an ancillary/storage function at some point in the late The cottage has been substantially re-built and re-purposed as an open fronted store. The monitoring of the floor reductions confirmed the presence of a fireplace in the south-west elevation, with partial paved floors surviving and the remnant of a central dividing wall having formerly separated the cottage into two rooms.
