Abstract: |
In December 2018, Cotswold Archaeology carried out an archaeological excavation within a
playing field off Wear Barton Road, Exeter. A single excavation area was opened at the site,
centred on a possible prehistoric rectilinear enclosure recorded by a previous archaeological
evaluation.
The excavation exposed four main ditches, comprising the rectilinear enclosure ditch and
possible field system ditches. Associated dating evidence was scarce, comprising just three
prehistoric worked flints. Also recorded were four pits and a further short length of ditch; all
were undated, but they may have represented contemporary features within the enclosure.
The few internal features and the paucity of artefactual material may indicate that the
enclosure was associated with livestock/agriculture, rather than with domestic activity. |
