Abstract: |
Archaeological evaluation trenching was carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) on land between Rydon Road and Trewyn Road, Holsworthy, Torridge, Devon. The site comprises six fields located at the junction of Rydon Road and Trewyn Road, on a south-west facing hillside on the edge of Holsworthy. Previous archaeological assessment, including geophysical survey suggested that the current field boundaries and usage have changed little since the early 19th century, with evidence of former bank and ditch features likely to have survived below ground. Most significantly, the presence of a probable prehistoric round-house with internal features was identified, indicating that some of the identified anomalies pre-date the existing field-system. The evaluation identified a total of 29 features, many of which are likely to be medieval or post-medieval in date and relating to phases of field-system, land drainage and services. Few of the features produced dating material, those that did predominantly producing post-medieval artefacts; with a small assemblage of post-medieval artefacts recovered from the topsoil. |
