A watching brief was maintained during works associated with the removal of existing concrete floor surfaces in the lounge and study to a depth of 0.35-0.4 metres. The removal of these floors exposed no deposits, features or dating evidence indicative of archaeological activity.

Roof over hall and higher end circa C18, trusses have side pegged morticed apices and lap-jointed collars. The rafters and purlins have been replaced.

Steinmetzer, M., 2015, Archaeological monitoring and recording at Shuttaford Farm, Holne, Devon, 1 (Report - Watching Brief). SDV359786.
A watching brief was undertaken on groundworks for an extension at the eastern end of the house. No deposits, features or dating evidence indicative of archaeological activity was found. The lack of pottery and lithics from the site, despite examination of spoil heaps, further indicates that the site is archaeologically sterile.
Steinmetzer, M., 2017, Archaeological monitoring and recording at Shuttaford Farm, Holne, Devon (Report - Watching Brief). SDV364125.
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken during building work at Shuttaford Farm, Holne. The layout of the building perpetuates that of an earlier house which was first constructed as a three room and cross-passage house in the 16th century, with a later 17th century parlour wing and porch, and 20th century alterations. The work therefore had the potential to expose and destroy archaeological and artefactual deposits associated with this activity.
A watching brief was maintained during works associated with the removal of existing concrete floors and creation of multi-level interior. The removal of concrete floor exposed elements of an earlier cobbled surface inside the barn. Unfortunately, the modern concrete floor had been poured directly on top of the earlier surface resulting in its complete removal. The cobbled surface consisted of medium size worn stones on a bed of sand that overlay the natural subsoil. The barn is shown for the first time on the 1889 1st edition Ordnance Survey map and although no finds were recovered during the works it is likely that the floor is late 19th century in date.
No deposits, features or dating evidence indicative of earlier archaeological activity was found following the removal of the cobbled floor.
