Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Oakford Archaeology in September 2019 at Goodameavy Manor and Barton, Goodameavy, Devon. The site is located within the historic core of the hamlet of Goodameavy, a manor of dating back to the early-mid 13th century. A watching brief was maintained during works associated with the construction of a new sewage treatment plant and associated works to the west of the Manor house. The work involved the excavation of a service trench approximately 95m long, 0.4-0.5m wide and between 0.7-1m deep. In addition, a rectangular pit for the sewage treatment plant was located towards the western edge of the field. This was approximately 6.5m long, 1.6m wide and excavated to a total depth of 0.75m. No deposits, features or dating evidence indicative of archaeological activity was found. The lack of pottery and other artefacts from the site, despite examination of spoil heaps, further indicates that the site is archaeologically sterile. |
