Abstract: |
The results of an archaeological assessment and geophysical survey carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) on land off Chulmleigh Road, Morchard Bishop, Devon. The site is located on the western edge of the village of Morchard Bishop, c.8.5km north-west of Crediton. Morchard Bishop was a small Domesday manor. Its place-name is derived from the Primitive Welsh for 'Great Wood'. Cartographic-, aerial- and satellite sources show that the site had internal boundaries in the north field removed in the 20th century and that it had been used as allotments for much of the 20th century. The southern field may have been used as an orchard in the early 19th century. No previous archaeological works have taken place on the site and the site is outside the Morchard Bishop Conservation Area. However, aerial photography has been used to propose a potential prehistoric ring-ditch/enclosure in a field immediately east of the site. |
