Abstract:
During a watching brief on a pipeline route a number of partially exposed prehistoric and Romano-British features were recognised. In the northwestern extent of the route, an enclosed settlement and associated features of mid to late Bronze Age date were excavated. In the southeastern area a similar settlement enclosure of a later Romano-British structure were exposed and investigated. The archaeological investigations have established that prehistoric and Romano-British settlement activities of different periods are represented at a number of points along the pipeline. These areas of occupation generally occupy the higher ground and were located at opposing ends of the pipeline. A range of pottery and lithic artefacts from the late Neolithic through to the Romano-British period were recovered which illustrate the length of occupation of the area although such occupation cannot be demonstrated to be continuous over such a breadth of time. This project was amalgamated with related projects in the area the major results of which are to be published in the Proceedings of the Devon Archaeological Society.
