Abstract: |
An archaeological trench evaluation was undertaken by AC archaeology during July 2013 on land adjacent to Foredown Road, Ipplepen, Devon (NGR SX 8439 6688). The site occupies approximately 1.3 hectares of agricultural land between Foredown Road and Moor Road and within an east to west aligned dry valley. The evaluation comprised the machine-excavation of three trenches totalling 80m in length with each trench 1.9m wide. These were positioned to target anomalies recorded from a previous geophysical survey. At the valley base, linear features were recorded consistent with the location of targeted anomalies and with a general meandering linear hollow that was visible on the surface. These are likely to represent a mixture of a drainage feature cut into the valley base and natural water channels. Other targeted anomalies were shown to be a stone land drain and geological banding. A small quantity of early to middle Iron Age pottery was recovered from buried soil and subsoil layers. |
