Abstract: |
the results of an archaeological evaluation carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. for land at Hitchcock's Business Park (east), Uffculme, Mid Devon, Devon. The site is located in an area of known archaeological potential with prehistoric and Roman activity identified in the immediate vicinity. The evaluation at Hitchcock's Business Park identified a total of 16 features, all post-medieval or modern in date and relating to land drainage and services. Of these, three ditches are all roughly aligned with the existing field boundaries, and whilst they may represent removed boundaries, they are more likely to represent larger scale drainage reflecting the former 'moorland' nature of the fields indicated on the tithe award. None of the features produced dating evidence, but the character of the fills and their association with the existing field system would suggest that they are all post-medieval in date. Given the results of the archaeological evaluation the archaeological potential for the site is low and it is not recommended that any further archaeological investigations are undertaken in relation to this site. |
