Introduction
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in December 2014 on Land North and South of Blundell's Road, Tiverton, Devon. A total of seventeen trenches were excavated each targeting geophysical anomalies identified by an earlier geophysical survey.
A cluster of postholes containing quantities of Late Neolithic pottery was identified. Environmental samples recovered from the fills of the features contained material indicative of domestic waste.
A possible cremation, contained within an almost complete pot of Middle Bronze Age date was identified on a high ridge just below the top of a hill.
Elements of a series of enclosures of a field system of probable Roman date were identified towards the western extent of the site. A quarry pit, partially backfilled with waste likely derived from Roman metal working was identified in close proximity.
Several undated ditches and ditches of post-medieval and modern date were also identified.
