Source/Archive record SEM7999 - Lower East Lyn, Lynton and Lynmouth, Devon: Results of historic building recording

Historic building recording was undertaken by AC Archaeology during building works involving the lowering of wall heights for safety reasons of a ruined outbuilding at Lower East Lyn Farm, near Lynmouth. It complied with the Written Scheme of Investigation for archaeological work required by the Exmoor National Park Authority as a condition of listed building consent. The outbuilding lies within the curtilage of Lower East Lyn farmhouse, a Grade II listed building. It also lies within the Lower East Lyn Conservation Area. The purpose of the watching brief was to monitor the lowering of the walls and prepare a record of any masonry or architectural features exposed during the works. The building works were undertaken by hand and no previously unrecorded features were observed. A photographic record was prepared including a series showing the walls following their lowering.
