Abstract:
South West Archaeology Ltd. was commissioned to undertake an archaeological evaluation on land adjacent to Lovington Primary School, Lovington Lane, Lovington, South Somerset. This phase of work was informed by observations of LiDAR and Satellite imagery and an earlier desk-based assessment and geophysical survey of the site (Neale 2019; Davies 2019). The archaeological evaluation undertaken demonstrated the geophysical survey to be a poor guide to the archaeological potential of the site. A series of features were exposed and investigated, including a holloway, a raised and well-built track, several ditches and other shallow and more ephemeral features. A fairly large assemblage of medieval coarseware pottery was associated with most of these features, pointing to domestic occupation dating to the 13th-15th century. The raised track appears to be post-medieval in date and would have required considerable investment. It appears to link Lovington village with the river/Old Rectory and its line is perpetuated by an extant footpath; it was perhaps superseded by Lovington Lane in the 18th or early 19th century.
