Abstract: |
An archaeological trench evaluation, carried out in support of a planning application for residential development on land at Buckleigh Road, Westward Ho! (NGR SS 43027 28256), was undertaken by AC archaeology during May 2013. A previous geophysical survey on the site identified a series of linear and discrete anomalies that were thought could potentially relate to early land division and settlement. A total of four trenches was excavated with a combined length of 120m. These were positioned to target potential archaeological anomalies identified during the earlier geophysical survey. The work identified a number of linear features probably relating to medieval and post-medieval land division. The only finds recovered were a single piece of prehistoric worked flint from a trench spoil heap and a sherd of medieval pottery from a ditch. |
