Introduction

Land at Seckington Farm, Hartland, Results of Archaeological Monitoring and Recording (OASIS ID: southwes1-172108)

This report presents the results of a desk-based assessment and intermittent archaeological monitoring and recording carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) on land at Seckington Farm, Hartland, Devon, during the construction of a new dairy unit and ancillary features.

The desk-based assessment emphasises the high potential for archaeological remains and deposits within the proposed development area, most especially of the high potential for prehistoric, Roman and Medieval remains given the known sites surrounding Seckington Farm.

Previous work identified undated, probable medieval and probable post-medieval archaeological features. The monitoring and recording revealed three further features to those identified in previous work (Swarch Report No. 130923) in the south of the site and an additional feature identified by geophysical survey in the north-east. These were all undated and mostly relate to medieval field systems. A single older curvi-linear feature was identified but with no associated features by which to date it absolutely and a north-west by south-east ditch in the north of the site appears to probably post-date (but may pre-date) the medieval field system.
