Abstract: |
An archaeological trench evaluation carried out at Church Green, Bickleigh, Devon (centred on SS 9420 0720) was undertaken by AC archaeology during September 2013. The site is situated at the centre of the village and occupies an area of around 0.25 hectares of unused scrub land and corrugated-iron sheds. The ground slopes moderately to the southwest at around 70m aOD. The evaluation comprised the machine-excavation of three trenches totalling 33.5m in length, with each trench measuring 1.9m wide. These were positioned in the east part of the site to be affected by development proposals. A consistent thin buried soil layer dating to the 12th to 13th century was recorded in each of the trenches and was present under subsoil and garden soil layers. Two probable tree pits were recorded, which date to the later medieval and post-medieval periods, while an undated possible post hole was also present. |
