Abstract:
This report presents the results of a historic building recording that was carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) in order to establish the historic background and to assess the potential impact of the proposed conversion of the store building into holiday lets at Irish Farm, St Breward, Bodmin, Cornwall. The work was undertaken in line with best practice and it follows the guidance that is outlined in: CIfA’s Standard and Guidance for the Archaeological Investigation and Recording of Standing Buildings or Structures (2014); and Historic England’s Understanding Historic Buildings: A Guide to Good Recording Processes (2016). The discussion of the building's setting follows the approaches that are outlined in the appropriate guidance (DoT Guidance and Historic England 2015). Irish tenement farmstead may have originated as one of several small Post Medieval squatter hamlets (18th century to early-19th century) that was created within a late Medieval or early Post Medieval (1500s-1700s) intake, a first phase enclosure of the downland fringe that expanded by agriculturalist reclamation of the moorland. The cartographic research and the surviving evidential features indicate that B2 is an earlier range that predates the farmhouse and the other buildings that were subject to study on site - it is of probable pre-1800 origin. This building in particular holds illustrative value above others as it echoes significant socio-economic development in the farming industry, moving from earlier grain and traditional mixed farming processing to a farmstead that concentrated on pastures for livestock to produce dairy products. The other buildings that were subject to study on site (B1, B3, and B4) provide context to the more interesting B2 but are valuable in their own right for their reuse of salvaged materials in their otherwise generic 19th century build. The buildings are of local value and they are considered undesignated heritage assets who's conversion will enable their survival.
