Abstract: |
The results of a geophysical survey and evaluation carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) on land north of Hunters' Inn, Newton Tracey, Devon. The site is located just north of the historic core of the village and north-west of its 13th century church. The evaluation on Land North of Hunters Inn identified a total of 19 features, all seemingly post-medieval or modern in date and relating to agricultural activity, including historic field boundaries; land drainage; and modern services. Of these, four ditches and two banks represent a removed historic field boundary depicted on Ordnance Survey mapping; five were modern service trenches; two were probably drainage gullies; two were stone drains; one was a possible post-hole; and three were likely natural features. Few of the features produced dating evidence, but those which did contained post-medieval and later finds. The character of the fills and their association with other features and the existing field system would suggest that they are all however post-medieval or modern in date. The north-south orientated boundaries are likely to have had medieval antecedents or origins. Given the results of the archaeological evaluation and its corroboration of the geophysical survey, the overall archaeological potential for the site appears low and it is not recommended that any further archaeological investigations should be undertaken in relation to this site. |
