Abstract: |
An archaeological trial trench evaluation was undertaken in advance of the construction of 15 dwellings and associated works on land at Barton Orchard, Tipton St John, Devon (SY 0937 9167). The site comprised a rectangular pasture field that was positioned on ground that sloped down to the northwest from 68m to 45m above OD. The The work comprised the machine-excavation of eight trenches totalling 135m in length, with each trench 15m or 20m long and 2m wide (Fig. 1). Trenches were positioned in the areas to be directly affected by the development. The trial trenches exposed a series of agricultural features that are likely to have represented former elements of the existing post-medieval field pattern, with one of these corresponding with a former boundary as depicted on historic mapping. |
