Abstract: |
In June 2019, Cotswold Archaeology undertook an archaeological strip, map and sample excavation on land adjacent to the A361 West Buckland Junction, Devon. Two excavation areas with a combined area of 2,490 m² were excavated within the site. These areas were targeted upon features identified during a previous geophysical survey and trial trench evaluation. The excavation recorded part of a rectilinear enclosure. No artefactual material was present, but an Early Roman radiocarbon date was obtained. The previous geophysical survey and evaluation results indicate that this rectilinear enclosure system continues north-westwards within the site, apparently forming a field system. Also recorded were a small number of undated ditches and pits. The undated ditches were mainly on different alignments to both the Roman enclosure and the extant field system. Their provenance is unclear. |
