Abstract: |
Archaeological evaluation trenching and recording was undertaken by South West Archaeology Ltd. at the request of Paul Jaggers of Atlantic Developments (the Client) in advance of a residential development. The trenching was monitored by P. Webb on the 19th February 2018. This work was undertaken in accordance with a WSI (Balmond 2017) drawn up in consultation with Stephen Reed (DCHET). The site is located c.60m north-west of Ilfracombe High Street (Figure 1). The site lies within an urban area with unrecorded soils (SSEW 1983) over slate bedrock of the Kentisbury Slates Member (BGS 2018). This is an area of archaeological potential close to the historic core of Ilfracombe, surrounded by Victorian and modern developments. A small amount of archaeological work has been carried out in the area: an assessment of this site undertaken in 1998 (MDV62554); and monitoring of the adjacent property, which recovered 15th to 19th century pottery (MDV77871). In c.1840 the site is listed as a garden owned by Nathaniel Lee and leased to Harriet Cutcliffe. The c.1880 OS maps show two parallel ranges of buildings on the site; a single structure labelled 'garage' is shown on the 1963 and 1973 OS maps. |
