Abstract: |
The results of an archaeological test-pitting carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. for the site of Fish Hoek, Dartmouth, South Hams, Devon. The site is located in an area of known archaeological potential given the significant medieval history of the town. The test-pitting identified three features, all walls and reflecting the presence of a possible cellared structure against a former waterfront wall, all of which were superseded by a phase of land reclamation in the post-medieval period. The structure is undated, though the presence of machine-made bricks within one of the walls would indicate it has having at least been repaired in the late 18th - 19th century. Given the results of the archaeological test-pitting the archaeological potential for the site is considered low, with the site largely built on made-up ground possibly in the 18th century. It is recommended that if there is to be further archaeological investigations undertaken in relation to this site that these should focus on the area surrounding Fish Hoek, and establishing a more definitive date and functions for the identified structures. |
