Abstract: |
A stage 1 archaeological trench evaluation on land to the east of Secmaton Lane, Dawlish, Devon was undertaken by AC archaeology. The site is located on the northern edge of Dawlish. It is situated in an area where there is a general potential for later prehistoric remains to be present. The evaluation comprised the machine-excavation of twelve trenches, totalling 620m in length. In the majority of trenches negative results were recorded. One trench positioned across a natural combe, exposed layers of colluvium containing small quantities of prehistoric, Romano-British and medieval artefacts. The only in situ remains present were two parallel and adjacent linear features, likely to represent the position of a former hedgebank boundary as depicted on 18th and 19th-century historic maps. |
