Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Oakford Archaeology in June 2019 during the construction of a single storey extension at Church Cottage, Upton Hellions, Devon. A watching brief was maintained during the excavation of foundations for a new extension at the rear of the cottage. The groundworks exposed the remains of an infilled terrace cut into the southwest-facing slope of the hill. Although the terracing is not shown on the 1840 Tithe map it is likely to be contemporary with the construction of Church Cottage, preventing the water from draining from the adjacent hillside directly onto the rear of the building. The terrace had been infilled prior to the construction of a small outbuilding at the rear of the plot, shown for the first time on the 1904 Ordnance Survey map, suggesting the infilling took place sometime after 1888. |
