Abstract: |
The results of archaeological monitoring and recording carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. on land at Kitwell Street, Uffculme, Devon. The site is located in the historic core of Uffculme, a settlement with medieval origins. Cartographic evidence records buildings on the site from at least the mid 19th century, with later phases of re-development, including complete site clearance in the late 20th century. A roughly rectangular area measuring c.30m×24m encompassing the footprints of two proposed house plots was initially stripped of modern overburden, concrete, and tarmac surfaces prior to the excavation of a series of foundation trenches totalling c.41.80m long. The archaeological and cartographic evidence demonstrated that by the mid 19th century the site had a series of buildings built along the north-eastern edge, some of which appear to have been stone-built. By the late 19th century some demolition and extension of these buildings had occurred, the majority of structures relating to this phase being in brick. By the early 20th century there had been further development and demolition; and by the end of the 20th century the site had been completely cleared and a new series of buildings constructed with associated drainage and ground disturbance. |
