History & significance

Manorial settlement incorporating a medieval undercroft, 100m north of St John the Baptist's Church is a scheduled ancient monument consisting of the earthwork remains of a medieval manorial complex located in Devon. The site is centred on a substantial stone-built undercroft, a vaulted basement structure typical of high-status medieval residential buildings, which survives as an important example of twelfth or thirteenth-century stone construction. The undercroft and associated earthworks represent the core of a manorial settlement, indicating the presence of a significant medieval lord's residence and its attendant domestic and administrative structures. The survival of the stone undercroft, combined with surrounding settlement features visible in the landscape, makes this a valuable archaeological record of medieval social hierarchy and settlement patterns in the region.
