Abstract:		 Oakford Archaeology were commissioned by Property Plans Southwest Ltd in August 2015 to undertake an archaeological buildings appraisal at the site of Fenacre Farm, Burlescombe, Devon. The archive and documentary research indicates that the site has been in continuous occupation probably since the late 11th century and that the current house was probably laid out in the late-17th century. The layout of Fenacre Farm is clearly defined with the agricultural elements concentrated to the south of a central lane and the house with its ancillary structures and yards to the north. Along with the main house, which dates from the late-17th century, the south section of the farm consisted of a yard at the front of the house with the remains of a former chapel, possibly dating to the 14th century, on the south side. Beyond this was a second yard surrounded by buildings utilised as linhay, dairy, cottages and threshing barn. The area to the north of the main house also included an orchard. The surviving farm buildings to the south of the house appear to have been built between the early- to mid-19th centuries. At the time of survey there were, in addition to the house and chapel, three standing buildings on the site. These included a large linhay and dairy, threshing barn and horse engine house. All major walls were built from local Westleigh stone. Modern blockwork partitions were also present. Eight phases of structural development have been identified during the survey.
