Abstract:		 This report presents the results of a historic building recording that was carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) for a residential development at The Old Clergy House, Cornwood, Ivybridge, Devon. The modern concrete floor has been removed and this has exposed a layer of redeposited clay and subsoil packing over a former cobbled floor. The areas of cobbled floor are lower than the areas of clay packing and they exhibit a few scattered remaining split slate stones. It is not immediately clear whether more cobbles may survive in other places without further full excavation. The section of concrete floor that remains would indicate that the cobbles were probably removed when the concrete floor was installed and what survives of the cobbled floor are "outliers" of larger size and that are more deeply bedded into the natural. It was noted that some lime and some sandy silt, as well as some clay, was mixed with natural subsoil and this would suggest some form of bond between the cobbles. Split slate stones can be seen around the edges of the room and along a partition line. Rounded pebbles, possibly from the river, appear to have been used in the main areas of the cobbled floor. The character of the cobbled floor and the cobbles themselves would suggest a Post Medieval (18th century or 19th century) date for the floor surface as they appear to interact with the small box hearth at the northern end of the room. A large area of dusty charcoal and ash was noted as a lens within the upper packing near to the staircase within the room, whilst the bressummer beam was observed as being charred. This may be indicative of a fire during the Post Medieval period that resulted in remodelling.
