Abstract: |
An archaeological trench evaluation carried out ahead of residential development on land to the rear of Cooks Cross, South Molton, Devon (centred on SS 7127 2563), was undertaken by AC archaeology during March and April 2015. The total development area covers approximately 0.14 hectares of mixed hard standing and wasteland. The evaluation comprised the machine-excavation of seven trenches totalling 77m in length, with each trench 1.6m wide. These were positioned to provide a representative coverage of the development area. The results have established that there has been a small amount of post-medieval settlement activity close to the site and to a lesser extent medieval evidence. There has also been much disturbance from late post-medieval and modern activity on the site. A small collection of finds includes three sherds of medieval pottery and an assemblage of post-medieval pottery. |
