Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring and recording was carried out by AC archaeology during groundworks associated with the upgrading of a drain and a sewer at the Former Shippon, Buckfast Abbey, Devon. The Former Shippon is located some 50m to the west of the abbey church and lies within its precinct outer court. The two-story stone-built Former Shippon is terraced into a sloping bank allowing for access to first-floor level from the west. The work comprised the hand-excavation of a trench for a drain connection and a pit for a sewer inspection chamber; both of which were external to the structure. The Former Shippon lies within a scheduled monument that incorporates the North Gate and part of the precinct area of Buckfast Abbey (Heritage List for England number 1019607). Originally dating from the early 11th century, the Saxon monastery was briefly converted to Savignac Rule before becoming Cistercian in AD1174. It was following this later change that the monastery buildings were rebuilt, visible remains of which include exposed footings of former guest lodgings immediately to the east of the Former Shippon. |
