Abstract: |
A second phase of archaeological trenching on land at Dainton Elms Cross, Ipplepen, Devon (SX 8473 6650), was carried out by Oakford Archaeology during June 2011. The work comprised the machine-excavation of 3 trenches totalling 53.2m in length. The trenches targeted a series of anomalies identified during the geophysical survey. Excavation revealed further sub-rectangular enclosures, and evidence for post buildings. Further elements of the Roman road were exposed; this was truncated by at least one undated burial. The finds included sherds of late Iron Age and 1st-2nd century Roman pottery, although a number of later wares indicate continued occupation of the site into the 4th century AD. The large number of features identified throughout the three trenches confirms that the survival of archaeological features is appreciably more extensive than was initially thought, especially along the eastern edge of the site. The full size and layout of the settlement is not known, although it is likely to extend beyond the site. |
