Abstract: |
A programme of building recording and archaeological evaluation took place at Higher Langage farmhouse, Sparkwell, Devon, in advance of the demolition of the structure and the expansion of the Plympton Energy Park. The farmhouse appears to have been a much-modified east-facing two- or three-cell cross-passage house with an open hall to which a chimney stack was added in the 17th century. The building was re-roofed in the 18th century and an extension (kitchen) added to the west of the building. 19th and 20th century alterations extended and truncated the building, and the interior was thoroughly 'modernised' in the later 20th century, stripping it of most of its historic features. An archaeological evaluation followed the demolition of the structure. This determined that ground levels within and around the building had been reduced, and no archaeological layers or features of any antiquity survived. |
