Abstract:
Wessex Archaeology commissioned by AECOM, on behalf of the Sherford Consortium undertook an archaeological watching brief on land within the area of the proposed new community at Sherford, Plymouth, Devon, centred on National Grid Reference (NGR) SX 55028 53912. The watching brief, specifically associated with the construction of the RMA Phase 1 Haul Road, and work on the Earthwork Surcharge Area and associated haul road. The works comprised the excavation of an 8 m (RMA Phase 1 Haul Road) and a 13 m (Earthwork Surcharge Area Haul Road) wide strip involving the topsoil and subsoil stripping and excavation of areas. The programme of works were carried out intermittently between the 1st September and the 23rd October 2015. During the RMA Phase 1 Haul Road work two features were identified. The remains of a wall or trackway identified in Field 10 probably relates to the demolished farmstead if Gore. A linear gully was also identified in Field 37 formed part of the old post-medieval field system. A total of five linear ditches (Fields 39 and 40) were recorded during the work on the Earthworks Surcharge Haul Road, all of which relate to old field boundaries which date to before the 19th century. A single pit (Field 101) probably a waste or rubbish pit could not be dated. No archaeological features were recorded on the Earthworks Surcharge Area. The archaeological features were generally well preserved with little truncation and features recorded correlated reasonably well with the results of the previous geophysical survey.
