Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Oakford Archaeology in March 2017 on land behind No. 11 Silver Street, Ottery St Mary, Devon . The work was required by East Devon District Council as advised by the Devon County Historic Environment Team. A watching brief was maintained during the construction of a new dwelling at the rear of No 11 Silver Street. Prior to the main building works starting the entire site was reduced to the level of the natural subsoil. This identified successive layers of cultivation soil. The groundworks exposed a mid-yellowish sandy clay natural subsoil (100) at a depth of 1.75m below current ground level. This was overlain by a 0.65m thick mid-reddish brown sandy clay subsoil (101). Overlying this was a 0.75m thick mid to dark brown loamy topsoil (102). This was in turn sealed by 0.35m of modern made ground (103). The removal of these overlying deposits failed to identify any earlier features or structures. |
