Abstract: |
A metal detector survey and an archaeological watching brief were carried out prior to and during construction of a new Animal Care Building at Bicton College, Devon. The site lies within the grounds of Bicton House that are a designated (Grade I) registered park and garden. Metal detecting in the area around the estate has produced finds dating from the late Iron Age through to the post-medieval period. Apart from a possible pit, from which a single flint was recovered, no early features were exposed. A stone and brick culvert probably relates to early 19th-century agricultural improvement of the estate. All the finds from the metal detecting were of post-medieval date and included a 16th- or 17th-century book fitting, and a number of lead plant labels. |
