Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was carried out by Oakford Archaeology on land at Ford Farm, Plympton, Devon in July 2019. The work comprised the excavation of 6 trenches totalling 140m in length, with each trench 1.6m wide and the monitoring of a further 4 geotechnical pits totalling a further 8m in length. The former were randomly spaced across the footprint of the proposed development and the extant hedge bank. No archaeological features were found in the area of the proposed southern agricultural building and ménage. The excavations revealed a single linear feature within the footprint of the northern building. Although not shown on 19th century maps its alignment correlates with the existing fieldsystem, suggesting it is a boundary features of post-medieval date. A series of alluvial deposits were also recorded along the southern edge of the proposed development. |
