Abstract: |
The results of archaeological evaluation trenching carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) on land on South Hooe Peninsular, Bere Ferrers, West Devon. The site is located on a spur of land projecting into the River Tamar, approximately 3.5km west-north-west of Bere Ferrers. It is situated within the Tamar Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the Plymouth Sound and Tamar Estuaries Marine Protected Area and the West Devon World Heritage Site (WHS). The site comprises two fields on shallow sloping south facing slopes on the north bank of the River Tamar, by which it is bounded to the south, east, and west, at a height of approximately 1m AOD. A total of eight geotechnical investigation trial-pits, were opened by tracked mechanical excavator to a depth of up to 3.40m, the maximum reach of the machine, under geotechnical and archaeological supervision. A further eight trenches, each 1.60m wide and totalling c.350m in length were opened by tracked mechanical excavator to the depth of weathered natural (or up 2.65m where not encountered) using a toothless grading bucket under archaeological supervision. Exposed archaeological deposits were excavated by hand and in accordance with the WSI and CIfA guidelines. |
