The farm buildings are located to the North West of Witheridge where soil is mostly red clay , with ridges of sandstone. Excavations, during 2010-2012, saw two main trenches, one in the garden and one in the adjacent meadow. A large amount of pottery was found ranging from the 10th -19th century including Saxo-Norman material, North Devon gravel-tempered ware, sgraffito, salt glazed Bellamine ware, Bristol ware, creamware, and domestic china. Hundreds of flints and some chert were recorded, including a variety of tool types. The majority of the worked flint could be dated to the Mesolithic period, with some Neolithic arrowheads found also.
