Abstract: |
An archaeological trench evaluation at Emmets Post, Shaugh Prior parish, Devon was carried out by AC archaeology during May 2011. At Emmets Post a single 8m long and 1m wide trench was hand-excavated. The trench excavated into Emmet's Post barrow exposed an earth mound formed from a series of deposits arranged in a ring form, with stone kerbing positioned on the internal and external breaks of slope. No finds were recovered, but the deliberate and careful nature of construction indicates it is a prehistoric barrow, rather than being associated with later mining or quarrying activity. |
