Abstract:		 South West Archaeology undertook a programme of archaeological building recording and desk-based research on the farm buildings at Coombe Farm, Brixton, in South Devon. Coombe Farm, alias Combe Prior, appears to have been a grange belonging to the Priory at Plympton, and parts of the farm buildings and the farmhouse date to the late medieval period. On the west side of the farmyard is a large 15th century threshing barn - the Great Barn - which has buttressed elevations of unusually high quality, with slit air-vents and large opposing threshing doors. This building was later expanded between the late 18th to late 19th centuries by the addition of a polygonal horse engine house and lean-to to the west and stables to the east. More recent structures, since removed, were added in the 20th century. The most definitive datable architectural feature - the arch-braced roof of the Great barn - was unsafe and had to be replaced in the 1970s. In the later 18th century a shippon (later converted into a modern milking parlour) was built on the eastern side of the farmyard, and in 1840-80 a stable block was added.
