Abstract: |
South West Archaeology Ltd. was commissioned to undertake an archaeological assessment for Land at Chivenor Cross, Heanton Punchard, Devon. This work was undertaken in order to assess the impact of any future development on the plot and to set the land in its historical and archaeological context. The site has historically been used for farming and orchards, with a modern plantation located on a plot recorded as orchard on the tithe. There is no evidence on the historic mapping of structures on the site and the lane which ran from north-south between Fields 1 and 2 is no longer evident. The divisions between the fields appear to be modern, with the possibility of one historic boundary remaining between Fields 5 and 6, although this boundary is lined with trees and it was not clear if the hedgebank survived. Much of the centre of the site has been given over to car parking, with the associated surfacing and pathways, and modern tree plantations and a tree nursery. Any archaeological remains in this area of the site are likely to have been disturbed. A modern gas pipeline runs from east to west across the centre of the site, with branches running north and south. Although there is no evidence of this on the surface, it is probable that the groundworks associated with the installation of this pipeline would have truncated any below ground archaeology. The archaeological assessment suggests that the archaeological potential of the site appears low and it does not appear necessary to undertake any further archaeological investigation for the site. |
