Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring was undertaken by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) at the request of Jon Sherwood of Bowood Homes (the Client) during groundworks associated with the development of land to the rear of 40-41 Fore Street, Chudleigh, Teignbridge, Devon. The site is situated at a height of c.70m (AOD) on the north-west facing slopes of the ridge along which Fore-street runs. It is in an area of slowly permeably clayey soils over rock of the Halstow Association (SSEW 1983) overlying mudstones and sandstones of the Crackington Formation (BGS 2016). Monitoring was carried out by S. Walls and undertaken in accordance with a Written Scheme of Investigation (Boyd 2016) drawn up in consultation with Stephen Reed of the Devon County Historic Environment Team. The development area lies within the historic core of Chudleigh and is likely formed from an amalgamation of two/three historic linear burgage plots running north-west from Fore Street. The plot was formerly occupied by a very dilapidated two storey stone outbuilding (demolished prior to monitoring) which, although heavily altered in the 20th century, probably dated from the early-mid 19th century and is likely to be of similar age to the nearby Listed buildings, e.g. numbers 39, 42 and 43 Fore Street. |
