Abstract: |
Archaeological strip, map and sample excavations carried out prior to groundworks associated with a residential development on land at Great Court Farm, Berry Pomeroy, Totnes, Devon (centred on NGR SX 8181 6029), were undertaken by AC archaeology in May 2017. The site comprised an area of approximately 2.6 hectares to the north, west and south of Great Court Farm, which is situated east of Bridgetown, Totnes in Berry Pomeroy parish. Four areas were excavated centred on a series archaeological features identified during previous trial trenching. Archaeological features were present in three of the four excavation areas, with the majority of these probably relating to previous land division and drainage during the modern, post-medieval and medieval periods. A few postholes and pits were present which could relate to former settlement, but no obvious structural patterns were apparent and few artefacts were recovered. One large pit may represent piecemeal quarrying for clay, albeit undated. The finds comprised a small amount of worked flint, medieval and post-medieval pottery and one piece of animal bone. |
