Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned to undertake an archaeological watching brief during underpinning and associated groundworks undertaken during the refurbishment of adjoined semi-detached cottages located at 1 and 2 Court Farm, Bere Regis, Dorset, centred on National Grid Reference (NGR) 384890 94670. The Court Farm cottages lie within the limits of an historic manorial settlement which is a Scheduled Monument (SM1015352). The Archaeological watching brief was undertaken between 25th October and 12th December 2011 and comprised the monitoring of four test-pits, seventeen underpinning holes, two soakaways and associated drainage trenches and an oil line trench and revealed a consistent sequence of archaeological features and deposits. Examination of the foundations around the building confirmed the stone foundations of the south-western gable end of the western wing of the farmhouse were clearly different from that seen elsewhere and potentially of medieval origin. The remainder of the archaeological structural remains and deposits recorded during the watching brief were of undoubted post-medieval or modern origin. The south-eastern cornerstone of the northern rear extension to the original farmhouse, with its chamfered edge and fleur-de-lys motif, is the most striking example of the re-use of worked stone blocks. |
