Abstract: |
The results of archaeological monitoring and recording carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) on land at Eastacombe, Tawstock, Devon during groundworks associated with development of the site. Previous phases of work on the site, including desk-based assessment and evaluation trenching identified a series of features likely to be associated with the medieval and post-medieval development of the field systems surrounding Eastacombe, whilst a possible prehistoric enclosure to the south suggests the potential for earlier activity to be present on the site. The archaeological monitoring broadly confirmed the results of the evaluation trenching: identifying a concentration of linear features most likely associated with medieval and post-medieval field systems reflecting the 18th and 19th century development of Eastacombe. A number of additional ditches were identified suggesting that there was more intensive boundary coverage than had previously been indicated. A more substantial curvilinear ditch may have formed part of an earlier enclosure, the boundary of which may have been re-used in later periods. |
