Abstract: |
An archaeological trench evaluation on land to the rear of The Malt Scoop Inn, Merton, Devon (centred on NGR SS 52696 12209), was undertaken by AC archaeology during September 2014. The proposed development area occupies approximately 0.85 hectares of pasture land. The evaluation comprised the machine-excavation of three trenches totalling 40m in length, with each trench measuring 1.80m wide. These were positioned to test four linear anomalies identified by a previous geophysical survey. No archaeological features or deposits were identified and the geophysical anomalies are likely to represent variations in the natural geology. A small amount of post-medieval pottery was recovered from the topsoil. |
