1-2 Pye Corner off Church Street in Cullompton was a Residential Home in 2006, and separated form the churchyard by an area of cobbles. The older buildings were present on the 19th and early 20th century maps. The earliest documentary evidence found relating to Pye Corner is a deed of 1765 when the property was described as being ruinous. An evaluation undertaken in 2006 prior to development to the north of the buildings found no evidence of activity before the post-medieval period.

Trial Pit 5 recorded a possible stone surface or wall, composed of large sub-rounded stones bonded with clay. This feature appeared to be truncated by the footings for the adjoining cottage.
