Abstract: |
An archaeological excavation carried out ahead of residential development on land at Moors Yard, South Street, South Molton, Devon, wasundertaken by AC archaeology during April 2015. The total development area covered approximately 0.4 hectares of mixed hard standing, out-buildings, wasteland and scrub. The excavation comprised the stripping of an area measuring 19m by 8m, with this targeting an area previously identified as containing possible prehistoric activity. A small number of features were exposed with these principally comprising diches and small pits. These were largely of medieval to post-medieval date, with the features likely to relate to agricultural plot boundaries and activity on periphery of domestic settlement. A small collection of finds included medieval and post-medieval pottery was recovered. No evidence for the previously suspected prehistoric activity was present. |
