Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring and recording was undertaken by South West Archaeology Ltd. during groundworks associated with the creation of a manège at Highaton, East Anstey. The monitoring was carried out by P. Webb in accordance with a Written Scheme of Investigation drawn up in consultation with the Devon County Historic Environment Team. The site lies in an area of high archaeological potential in a landscape known to contain evidence of prehistoric activity. Several Scheduled Ancient Monuments are located in the immediate vicinity, a group of five barrows to the south-west (SAM 1017135 and SAM 1017136) and a single barrow (SAM 1017142) c.200m to the east of the development site. Historic mapping indicates that at the time of the Tithe survey in the 1840s the site belonged to Bussels Moor (now Jubilee Cottage), and is within a field recorded as Quarry Close on the Tithe apportionment, indicating proximity to a known quarry site. During the 20th century the south-west corner of the field was subdivided and Jubilee House/Highaton constructed. The development area remaining an open field. A rectangular area orientated north-east to south-west and measuring 40m × 25m was excavated under archaeological supervision by machine using a toothless grading bucket to a depth of up to 0.25m, this being the depth of formation. No features were identified during the groundworks. Two sherds (5g) of 19th century tin-glazed stoneware were recovered from the topsoil and subsequently discarded. |
