Abstract: |
A trench evaluation carried out on land at Exeter Road Junction, Sandygate, Kingsteignton, Devon (centred on NGR SX 86662 74490) was undertaken by AC archaeology in March 2013. In addition an earthwork survey and an archaeological watching brief were conducted at John Acres Copse (SX 86293 75857) and Lappathorn Copse (SX 86534 75175) in March and September 2013. All sites were investigated as a requirement of Devon County Council Historic Environment Team as part of works for the re-alignment of the B3193 Chudleigh Road. The evaluation comprised the machine-excavation of three trenches totalling 60m in length and 1.6m wide. No features of archaeological interest were exposed with no evidence of the supposed Exeter to Teignbridge Roman road found. There were no finds. The earthwork survey made a record of previously noted linear features and hollow depressions surviving in two woodland settings. These relate to former field and woodland boundaries and probable quarrying activities. The watching brief was conducted in the same areas, but added little to the survey results. |
