Abstract: |
The results of geophysical survey and archaeological evaluation carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. on land adjacent to Filleigh Village Hall, Filleigh, Devon, in support of a planning application for a proposed housing development. The site is located in an area of archaeological potential, situated within the GI Registered Park and Garden of Castle Hill and close to the old turnpike road between South Molton and Barnstaple. A geophysical survey undertaken on the site had identified features of possible post-medieval or earlier origin. The evaluation identified a total of nine archaeological features and validated the results of the geophysical survey. The majority of the features are likely to be post-medieval or modern in date and relating to field boundaries, land drainage and services. Of these, two ditches are aligned with a historic field boundary and may represent removed boundaries and/or associated drainage. A series of natural deposits within a shallow combe crossing the site reflect the drying up of a watercourse. The evaluation has confirmed that the site forms part of the wider post-medieval agricultural landscape, the archaeological features largely reflecting the division and drainage of that land. Fieldwork undertaken to date would suggest the archaeological potential of the site is relatively low. |
