Abstract: |
The results of archaeological monitoring and recording carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. during groundworks associated with alterations to the dwelling at Sycamore Cottage, Sticklepath, Okehampton, Devon. The site is located in an area of known archaeological potential, Sticklepath having medieval origins and being set within a wider medieval agricultural landscape. The historic Finch Foundry is located immediately to the west. The archaeological monitoring at Sycamore Cottage identified a total of seven features, dating from the post-medieval and modern periods, reflecting the historic development of the leats associated with the mills at Finch Foundry, and the later development of the garden plot to Sycamore Cottage. The extant leat was identified as belonging to a secondary phase, replacing a much deeper well-built stone structure situated to the north. This itself may have been a replacement for an earlier leat. Later features identified within the site belong to later phases of alteration to the garden plot and the 20th century construction of outbuildings. |
