Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring and recording associated with a proposed extension to the Brannams Medical Centre, Brannams Square, Barnstaple, Devon (SS 5607 3290) was undertaken by AC archaeology during November 2015. The work comprised the excavation of a trial trench measuring 10.5m long and 1.1m wide, which was positioned across the proposed extension footprint. The site was located within an area associated with post-medieval pottery production, with the area investigated overlying the position of a former garden plot with outbuildings that was then occupied by the Brannams Pottery factory from the late 19th/early 20th century. The trench exposed a brick footing that probably formed part of the former factory building. Evidence for demolition and levelling dating to the late 19th to early 20th century was also present, which was likely to represent the clearance and preparation of the site for the construction of the factory. This included the use of pottery wasters and kiln furniture as levelling material. A retained sample of this material has provided an assemblage that contains examples of the broad range of objects used for production as well as the final product. |
