Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Oakford Archaeology between July and August 2018 during work at The Paddock, Hemerdon, Devon. The site is located within the historic core of Hemerdon, a settlement of Saxon origin and adjacent to a possible later medieval manor house (Hemerdon Farm). A watching brief was maintained during works associated with the construction of the new dwellings and associated groundworks. The area was reduced to the level of the subsoil before series of foundation trenches were excavated and monitored. Inspection of the groundworks along the road frontage exposed the remains of a NW-SE aligned linear feature running parallel with Hemerdon Lane, while work at the rear of the development exposed a further linear feaature and the remains of a large pit. None of the ditches produced datable evidence, although in all cases the features cut the subsoil, suggesting that they are relatively recent (i.e. post-medieval). |
