Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Oakford Archaeology in August 2021 at the Church of All Saints, Okehampton, Devon. A watching brief was maintained during works associated with the construction of new service trench. The work involved the excavation of a trench extending over a distance of 48m, 0.4m wide and 0.4m deep. Inspection of the works exposed a 0.1m thick layer of decayed tarmac (100) overlying natural subsoil consisting of a mid yellow clay and shillet (101). In line with the north elevation of the west tower the natural subsoil was truncated by mid yellowish brown silty clay (102). This contained disarticulated human bone and has been interpreted as a charnel soil. |
