Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring and recording was undertaken by South West Archaeology Ltd. prior to the construction of a cattle building adjacent to a range of existing Agricultural Buildings near Southdown on Salcombe Hill, Salcombe Regis, East Devon. The development lay c.40m to the south of a possible Bronze Age Barrow and in an area of extensive prehistoric of activity. The majority of the western part of the site had been heavily disturbed by turning machinery and, during stripping, it became clear that almost the entire development area had been covered by a 0.05-0.15m thick layer of hardcore, formed from broken fragments of tarmac and concrete. Below the rubble was a buried topsoil deposit of very compact dark greyish-brown slightly clay-silt with common chert and flint pebbles. No archaeological features or deposits were encountered, but 13 flint and 3 chert flakes were recovered from the topsoil. |
