Abstract: |
South West Archaeology Ltd. was commissioned to undertake a desk-based assessment for the site at Westacott Grange in the parish of Landkey, near Barnstaple, Devon ahead of any proposed redevelopment of the site. The proposed site at Westcott lies within the medieval fields attached to the former farming hamlet. These field formed part of an open field worked in common by the tenants of at least four tenements, jointly held by the Dyke Aclands and Rolle Families. The amount of fieldwork that has been undertaken in this area is relatively slight, but Westacott is itself medieval in origin, and the earthworks of medieval ridge and furrow are recorded further down the valley. Two of the field names listed in the mid 19th century tithe apportionment (Palace Park and Canna Park) close to the site imply the existence of other medieval settlements in the immediate area. The archaeological potential of this area, while untested, is therefore likely to be medium. |
