Abstract: |
South West Archaeology Ltd. undertook a desk-based assessment and archaeological evaluation on land to the north-west of the Pathfields Business Park, South Molton, Devon in December 2013. The desk-based assessment indicated the site underwent changes in its field systems in the Medieval period or later with the enclosure of strip fields. Specific changes to historic boundaries occurred between 1844 and 1889; 1904 and 1972; and again after 1972. The earliest boundary to go out of use, between 1844 and 1889, was the curved boundary running east-west that is visible in aerial photography (HER No. MDV5799). The archaeological evaluation revealed a series of ditches and contemporary features that equate to the features identified on the HER and represented in the cartographic record. The only dating evidence came from multiple ditches that equate to the afore mentioned curved boundary and indicate that it was probably in use from the late medieval period until the mid-19th century. |
