Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring and recording at Higher Ayshford Farm, Westleigh, Devon, during the conversion of 2 agricultural barns to a dwelling and repairs and alteration to other buildings to provide ancillary domestic accommodation. The settlement at Higher Ayshford has early origins and is mentioned in a pre-Conquest charter in the 10th century and it is recorded in Domesday in 1086. The desk-based assessment and historic building survey previously undertaken by South West Archaeology (SWARCH report No. 310128) highlighted the potential for the proposed development works to expose further historic evidence associated with the early origins on the settlement here. The courtyard of buildings east of Ayshford Court that were subject to the development included remains of 19th and 16th century structures. The groundworks subject to archaeological monitoring and recording occurred within the remains of the mill, linhay and open fronted shed that comprise the south-east half of the courtyard. |
