Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring was undertaken during works for the provision of a farm track on land at Woodbury Farm, Stoke Fleming. The site lies within close vicinity (less than three hundred metres) of Woodbury Camp, a Scheduled Iron Age hillfort (UID: 33769). The proposed works may disturb remains associated with the hillfort or environmental evidence relating to the historic landscape. The farm track may have an impact on the landscape setting of the monument at Woodbury Camp. The track crosses two large open pasture fields, bounded by mature hedgebanks, which are located on the opposing north and south-facing slopes of a curving valley. The two fields appear the same in plan today as on the 1843 tithe map of Stoke Fleming; in the accompanying apportionment the northern field is named as Bramble Park, and the southern field Well Park. As can be seen on the plans submitted with the planning application, the track runs down the eastern side of the first field into the base of the valley, where it curves and then runs south, uphill through the existing gateway and across the adjacent field. |
