Abstract: |
A programme archaeological monitoring and recording was undertaken by South West Archaeology prior to the construction of an agricultural dwelling with associated service trenching and access on land at Hurdles Farm, Upton Pyne. The work was carried out in accordance with a Written Scheme of Investigation (WSI) approved by DCHES. An area was stripped by a mechanical excavator using a 1.6m wide toothless grading bucket under strict archaeological supervision. The only features to be identified were a series of 19th or 20th century ceramic land drains and a single tree-throw. Very few finds were recovered - 3 sherds of modern pottery (same vessel) from the topsoil and 1 abraded sherd of refined white earthenware (post 1720) from the cut of the NW-SE land drain. The tree-throw produced 1 small fragment of coal. A few small lumps of abraded lime/stone were observed in the topsoil, most probably derived from agricultural improvement. The spoil heaps were examined after stripping, but no finds were recovered. |
