Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Oakford Archaeology in March 2020 during renovation work at Babcombe Manor, Kingsteignton, Devon. A watching brief was maintained during works associated with the removal of existing concrete floor surfaces throughout the ground floor. The house is Grade II* Listed Building dating to the late 15th or early 16th century. The ground reduction for the new flooring extended to a depth of 0.3m. The removal of the existing concrete floor throughout the property revealed a simple deposit sequence consisting of a heavily truncated former soil horizon above the natural subsoil. The former was sealed underneath a late 19th or early 20th century lime sub-floor underneath modern concrete flooring. No evidence for buried archaeological features or medieval finds was recovered. |
