Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Oakford Archaeology for Mr Scott McNulty in June 2019 during works associated with the erection of an agricultural building on land at Corndon Farm, Widecombe-in-the-Moor, Devon. The work was required by the Dartmoor National Park Authority (DNPA), as advised by Lee Bray, the DNPA Archaeology Officer. A watching brief was maintained during the excavation of the foundations for a new agricultural building. The initial excavations covered an area measuring approximately 20m by 12m, while a further 10 individual foundations pads, measuring on average 1.35m x 1.25m, were excavated to a maximum depth of 0.7m. The works revealed a simple deposit sequence across the whole site consisting of growan natural subsoil which was in turn overlain by a mid-reddish-brown clayey silt containing large quantities of granite rubble, derived from the adjacent ruined building. This was in turn overlain by a dark brown clayey silt topsoil. |
