Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring and recording was carried out by AC archaeology during October 2015 on land at, Clyst Hayes, Strathculm Road, Hele, Devon. The site lies adjacent to Clyst Hayes house, which has 16th century origins. The excavations exposed the remains of two probable structures which represented settlement of Late Bronze Age date. One of the structures was likely to have formed a post-built roundhouse that had evidence for a probable hearth and an internal division. An assemblage of associated finds was also recovered, comprising Late Bronze Age pottery, fired daub and a ceramic bead. Charred grains showed that wheat and barley were being cultivated. Other plant remains showed that hazelnuts were being collected and that a diverse range of other woodland resources were being used. A field boundary ditch of likely medieval or post-medieval date was also investigated. |
