Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Oakford Archaeology in January 2015 on works associated with the conversion of a warehouse into two dwellings and associated works on land behind No. 11 Silver Street, Ottery St Mary, Devon. The work was required by East Devon District Council as advised by the Devon County Historic Environment Team. A watching brief was maintained during works associated with the conversion of the warehouse at the rear of No 11 Silver Street. The new service trench was approximately 72m long, 0.5m wide and on average 1-1.5m deep. In the alleyway to the north of the warehouse the works revealed natural subsoil (100) at a depth of 0.6m. This was overlain by a 0.3m thick mid-reddish brown and grey silty clay deposit (101) containing frequent 19th century brick fragments, occasional mortar and charcoal flecks. This deposit is in turn overlain by a 0.15m thick mid reddish brown silty clay bedding material (102) containing rare charcoal flecks. The remains of a 19th century cobbled surface (103) are set into this deposit and in turn sealed by modern tarmac (104). The trenching to the south of the warehouse exposed a mid-reddish brown sandy clay natural subsoil (100) at a depth of 0.75m. This was overlain by a 0.45m thick mixed reddish brown clayey sand subsoil (105) containing frequent gravel and a 0.3m thick dark brown clayey sand topsoil (106). |
