Abstract: |
An archaeological trench evaluation on land at Hart's Yard, Hemyock, Devon, was undertaken by AC archaeology during July 2017. The evaluation comprised the machine-excavation of six trenches totaling 73m in length, with each trench 1.8m wide. The site lies adjacent to the former Hemyock Motors garage where pits containing early post-medieval pottery wasters were recorded, while in the near vicinity, extensive evidence for early post-medieval pottery production and early medieval ironworking medieval and post medieval iron working have been found. The evaluation exposed archaeology of limited interest, comprising mainly linear ditches and gullies. No evidence for in situ ironworking was identified, although both gullies contained quantities of residual and displaced smelting slag in association with 17th or 18th century pottery. |
