Abstract: |
An archaeological trial trench evaluation was undertaken by AC archaeology in advance of a proposed residential development on land at Bricknells Bungalow, Old Rydon Lane, Exeter. The parcel of land is to be developed in two phases, with this phase of work related to the northern portion of the site, comprising planning permissions references 15/0417/03, 15/0578/03 and part of 14/2007/01. The remaining portion of planning permission 14/2007/01 will be undertaken as a second stage of trial trenching. The site comprised an irregularly-shaped parcel of land that extended to the southeast of Old Rydon Lane and to the east of the former Royal Naval Stores. It occupied an area of approximately 1.5 hectares of what were the gardens to Bricknells Bungalow and Bricknells Cottage, which were positioned ground that sloped gradually to the south between 25m and 22m aOD. The evaluation comprised the machine-excavation of five trial trenches totalling 103m in length, with each trench 2.1m wide. The evaluation produced only one find, a worked flint from context 106 in Trench 1. This is a broken tertiary waste flake made from good quality dark greyish-brown flint. It is most likely dates from the later Neolithic or Early Bronze Age. No significant archaeological finds, features or deposits were encountered during this first phase of trial trenching. The find of the worked flint retrieved from a possible buried soil layer recorded in Trench 1 is perhaps consistent with the overall known prehistoric activity recorded in the area. |
