Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring and recording was undertaken by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) at the request of Mr. Dave Tucker of the Bow Aquatic and Garden Centre, Bow, Devon. This work took place during groundworks associated with the construction of a new cafe building as part of the planning application. The monitoring was carried out by Peter Webb on 7th and 8th December 2015. This work was undertaken in accordance with a Written Scheme of Investigation drawn up in consultation with Stephen Reed of the Devon County Historic Environment Team (DCHET). The site is located within a landscape of gently-rolling hills ranging in height from 90-150m(AOD), on the outskirts of the small town of Bow and is located approximately 24km north-west of Exeter and c.28km south-east of Great Torrington. Bow, in the parish of Nymet Tracey in the hundred of North Tawton and deanery of Chulmleigh, is taken from the Middle English bogh, meaning 'the arch', and refers to the 12th century arched bridge over the River Yeo. The town dates to the late 13th century, and is also known as Nymet, though the majority of the buildings date to between the 17th and 20th centuries. |
