Abstract: |
Archaeological investigations comprising historic building recording of a barn and the monitoring of groundworks were undertaken by AC archaeology in April 2016 and January 2017 on land at Warracott Farm, Chillaton, Lifton, Devon. Recording of the barn suggested that it was likely to have been of 18th century origin and originally functioned as a threshing barn. Historic mapping of the site indicated that that barn previously formed part of a longer range, which was then shown as partially demolished in the mid-20th century. This modification was represented in the existing structure with evidence for the partial reconstruction of a gable end and a surviving remnant of the former structure retained as a boundary wall. The monitoring of groundworks exposed a section of stone wall with associated cobble surface. Its position broadly corresponded with the site of a structure shown on historic mapping dating to 1839, which was then absent by 1894. No finds were recovered to date the structure. |
