Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was carried out by AC archaeology during the excavation of eight 6m long trial pits within the footprint of a proposed swoop pond at Dunkeswell airfield. Dunkeswell was an RAF airfield built in 1942-3. A number of iron ore extraction pits have been recorded within the wider area which are likely to date between the Romano-British and early medieval periods. The same deposit sequence was exposed within each trench comprising made ground (airfield construction) over former topsoil and natural subsoil. No archaeological features or deposits were exposed. |
