Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was carried out by Oakford Archaeology in February 2021 within the graveyard at St Andrew's Church, Ashburton, Devon. The work comprised the hand-excavation of 3 trenches totalling 3m in length, with each trench 1m wide. These provided a spatial sample of the site. The evaluation demonstrated the absence of an earlier cobbled path surface underneath the later tarmac, while the presence of charnel soil suggests that the area had formerly been part of the graveyard. The work retrieved a small assemblage of medieval and post-medieval finds, the presence of a single 19th century sherd suggesting that the path was laid out sometime in the early-mid 19th century. |
