Abstract: |
The results of archaeological monitoring and recording carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) on land at Battens Farm, Halberton, Devon. The excavation of two soak-away trenches was monitored in a field with proven potential for Romano-British archaeology based on geophysical survey, field-walking and metal detecting. The archaeological monitoring and recording validated the results of an earlier geophysical survey. It confirmed the presence of a probable Romano-British ditch, although severely truncated by ploughing. Additional Romano-British and later finds were recovered from the topsoil across the site, including iron slag and Romano-British pottery. The location of these finds further corroborated and added to the already extensive non-intrusive surveys conducted across the site, indicating the presence of Romano-British enclosures and structures. |
