Abstract: |
South West Archaeology Ltd. undertook an archaeological watching brief and building recording at The Longhouse, Tedburn St Mary, Devon in November 2013 and March 2014. This entailed a photographic and illustrated record, where appropriate, of the revealed fabric of the building during renovation work. The Longhouse had undergone major repairs at its east end in the 19th and 20th century and an extensive renovation at its west end in the 1970's. This was all evident in the fabric of the building, although cob had continued to be used and repaired where possible. Original doorways were re-opened at the north-west end in the north elevation and in the central cross-passage in the south- and original north (now interior) elevations. A new doorway was forced on the first floor through the original north elevation (now interior) and existing doorways including in the south elevation east of the oven were blocked. Although best described as a medieval open hall house, some speculation can be made as to The Longhouse being a longhouse. The building was built directly onto the natural clay with shallow to non-existent foundations; its long axis following the natural slope of the ground as was traditional with longhouses with the original shippon probably occupying the down-slope (in this case west side) side of the central cross-passage. |
