Abstract: |
Archaeological evaluation trenching was undertaken by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) at the request of a private client (the Client) as part of a planning condition prior to the construction of a single residential dwelling off Staddon Road, Appledore, Northam, Devon. This work was carried out by P. Webb on 16th December 2019 in accordance with the Written Scheme of Investigation (WSI; Boyd 2019) drawn up in consultation with Devon County Council Historic Environment Team (DCHET). The proposed development is located in the north-eastern corner of an agricultural field currently under pasture on the western edge of Appledore, north of the A386; and sits at the plateau of a gentle west facing slope overlooking Northam Burrows and Bideford Bay beyond. The site lies at a height of c.38m AOD. The soils of this area are the well-drained fine loamy soils of the Neath Association where it borders the slowly permeable seasonally waterlogged clayey, fine loamy and fine silty soils of the Hallsworth 2 Association (SSEW 1983); and overlying the mudstone and siltstone of the Ashon Mudstone Member and Crackington Formation (BGS 2019). |
