Abstract: |
Previously unrecorded earthworks were potentially threatened with disturbance as result of a proposed planting scheme. The site is located approximately 0.5 km north of Paunton Mill and is currently under pasture. An earthwork survey of the affected area was undertaken, together with field reconnaissance of additional areas of farmland. The earthwork survey identified and recorded remains directly affected by the scheme, and located them accurately so that planting could avoid direct damage to them. The earthworks are interpreted as having been associated with a mill race and the practice of seasonal flooding of water meadows. The field reconnaissance identified a number of further features of archaeological and/or historical significance. These are not situated within the area of the planting scheme. |
