Abstract: |
An archaeological trench evaluation and historic buildings appraisal were undertaken by AC archaeology during June 2017 on land at Stoke Cottage, Stoke Canon, Devon. The trench evaluation comprised the machine-excavation of seven trenches totalling 72m in length, with each trench 1.5m wide. These were positioned to provide representative coverage of the site. The historic building appraisal investigated Stoke Cottage, a two-storied dwelling with outbuilding to the rear. The evaluation has recorded the presence of prehistoric, medieval and post-medieval archaeological features, with these comprising pits and ditches which were cut into a weathered natural subsoil. These were then sealed by a series of post-medieval and later soil layers. Finds recovered date to the Middle Neolithic, Iron Age, medieval and post-medieval periods. Stoke Cottage is a two-storied dwelling, with fabric suggesting it was originally a vernacular cross-passage house potentially dating to the mid to late 17th century, but with extensive remodelling, extensions and alterations having taken place into the present century. Very little remains of the original building were evident with some internal fabric of the front of the house dating to its earlier period. The outbuilding to the rear of Stoke Cottage is likely to have dated from the late 18th century, again with a number of subsequent extensions and alterations. Overall it is considered that both buildings have low architectural and aesthetic value and contain no architectural features or fixtures of interest. |
