Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring and recording was undertaken by South West Archaeology Ltd. prior to the construction of additional class room space, adjacent to Lympstone C of E Primary School, Lympstone, East Devon. The development lay c.25-30m to the north-west of the Parish Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, a Grade II* listed building, built in the 14th/15th century. The church is set in a large walled graveyard, which runs north up the slope of the hill, alongside the small parish road, School Hill, off which the development site is accessed. The site lies within the heart of the village of Lympstone, which contains approximately 70 listed buildings, some dating back to the village's medieval origins. 15-20m to the south-west of the development site lies Alwyne Smeath's Cottages, a row of three 18th/19th century cottages, Grade II listed buildings, whose back gardens run up to the southern boundary of the site. Less than 10m to the north of the development site lies the 19th century Primary School, which is not listed. The site lies within the grounds of the school, in an area where a temporary classroom structure was positioned previously. The ground works for the proposed development were therefore likely to expose and destroy deposits as well as artefactual material associated with the history, development and habitation of the settlement and also the construction of the school building and any earlier dwellings or structure which previously occupied the plot. |
