Abstract: |
In April 2018, Cotswold Archaeology carried out an archaeological evaluation of land off Cumberland Way, Exeter, following on from an earlier geophysical survey by Substrata. This evaluation was commissioned by Barchester Healthcare Ltd. in support of a planning application submitted to Exeter City Council for the erection of a care facility at the site, with associated access, car parking and infrastructure. The archaeology found was post-medieval in date and is consistent with former agricultural field boundaries. A north/south aligned ditch containing post-medieval tobacco pipe was found in the western field. This corresponded to a field boundary extant on the 1905 OS mapping. Two parallel ditches east/west aligned were found in the in the eastern field bordering Cumberland Way. This probably represents a double ditched hedge bank. Post medieval pottery was recovered from one of the two ditches. |
