Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Oakford Archaeology for the client in June and September 2020 on works associated with the construction of a new house on land at Higher Manor Farm, Ringmore, Devon.The site lies in an area of archaeological potential immediately to the north of the Grade II* Listed parish church of All Hallows. The site is located in the centre of the historic village of Ringmore, a settlement of possible Saxon origin and recorded in the 1086 Domesday survey as 'Reimore'. The works entailed the excavation of an area of terracing approximately 18m long and 13m wide to a maximum depth of 2.10m. In addition, a 14.5m length of foundation trench was monitored at the western end of the development where the ground was not affected by the terracing and a trial hole for the soakaway test. No deposits, features or dating evidence indicative of archaeological activity was found. |
