Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in August 2012 on Land off Station Road, Tamerton Foliot, Devon. Nineteen trenches were excavated. The evaluation identified a number of archaeological features throughout the proposed development area which generally correlated well with the results of a preceding geophysical survey. Archaeological features encountered comprised ditches, pits and a posthole, a number of which were undated whilst others generally dated to one of two broad periods; prehistoric and post-medieval/modern. Evidence of broadly prehistoric activity has been identified from the recovery of small quantities of pottery within trench 3, and from the recovery of a worked flint flake from the topsoil within trench 11. Fragments of fired clay recovered from trench 18, although small and undiagnostic, conceivably allude to further prehistoric activity within trenches 16 and 18 Modern field boundaries were noted in trenches 1, 13 and 15. Undated but conceivably modern ditches were noted in trenches 2, 5, 6, 7, 9 and 14. |
