Abstract: |
Archaeological recording was undertaken by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) at the request of Christopher Wilson of Wilson Architecture and Planning Ltd. (the Agent) on behalf of A. and S. Jeffrey (the Client) during groundworks associated with the construction of a poultry unit and new access routes on land at Little Hollocombe Farm, Welcombe, Torridge, Devon. Excavation had been already been carried out, and a site visit was undertaken by P. Webb on 25th October 2016 in consultation with Stephen Reed of the Devon County Historic Environment Team (DCHET). The geophysical survey indicated the presence of a series of removed post-medieval and modern boundaries associated with recent horse paddocks across the site. There are also frequent drainage ditches and possible land-drains across the site associated with the enclosure of the land from the 19th century onward. It also indicated potential prehistoric activity in the form of an oval anomaly, a ring ditch and discrete anomalies, possible tree-throws or man-made features. The south-west quarter of the site had been completely truncated by the recent barn development and was not surveyed; the south-east quarter of the site had been disturbed by earthmoving associated with the barn development. |
