Abstract: |
An archaeological assessment of the Highampton to Hatherleigh (NGR SS 248377 104171 to SS 254695 104161) replacement Water Main was undertaken by Exeter Archaeology (EA) during May 2006. The largely desk-based assessment has established that the site lies within an area that been subjected to very little archaeological work and is shown as largely moorland and marginal land on cartographic sources. A watching brief was undertaken by Exeter Archaeology between July to August 2006 during construction of the Highampton to Hatherleigh water mains upgrade, Devon. Archaeological monitoring of this pipeline established that there was an absence of archaeological features or deposits within the exposed working corridor of the pipeline. A number of lithic artefacts were, however, recovered along the pipeline, which provides clear evidence for prehistoric occupation within the area. |
