Abstract: |
In August 2019, Cotswold Archaeology carried out an archaeological evaluation of land east of Okehampton, Crediton Road, Devon. A total of 20 trenches were excavated. The evaluation identified six ditches in the northern and western parts of the site. One of these ditches contained postmedieval/ modern artefacts; the remainder were undated artefactually. A pair of intercutting undated ditches do not respond to historic boundaries visible on 19th/20th century mapping and are on a slightly different alignment to the extant field system. The slightly curved nature of this probable former boundary may indicate that it is medieval in origin. The remainder of the undated ditches corresponded to historic field boundaries. |
