Abstract: |
An archaeological trial trench evaluation was undertaken in advance of construction of a covered timber storage stock area, workshop and staff facilities including HGV turning and staff car parking area on land at Crokers Park, Edgelands Cross, Ipplepen. The site lay to the southeast of a limestone plateau known as Beltor. This area contains subtle linear earthworks, which are thought to represent remains of prehistoric or Romano-British boundaries forming part of a former field system. The work comprised the machine-excavation of five trenches totalling 130m in length, with each trench 2m wide. Trenches were positioned to provide a sampled coverage of the proposed development site. A buried soil exposed beneath the colluvial subsoil was poorly dated but contained a worked flint and may have been of prehistoric origin. No other deposits or features of archaeological interest were observed. slopes. |
