Abstract:
In September 2014 Oakford Archaeology were commissioned to undertake an archaeological evaluation on land adjacent to Longthorne Cottage, Ideford. The site in an area of archaeological potential with the proposed new building lying within 250m of two prehistoric enclosures or settlement sites that were identified through aerial photography. The work was therefore required by Devon County Historic Environment Team under a condition attached to the grant of planning permission (13/01380/FULL). An archaeological evaluation was carried out prior to the start of groundworks. Two trenches, measuring 15.5m in total, were excavated, covering the footprint of the proposed development. These revealed a simple sequence of topsoil over natural subsoil extending across the northern half of the site. No deposits or dating evidence indicative of archaeological activity was found. The lack of pottery and lithics from the site, despite examination of spoil heaps, further indicates that the potential for significant archaeological survival is low. As a result, it was agreed with the DCHET that no further archaeological site work was necessary. This is the only report on these works.
