Abstract: |
An archaeological excavation was undertaken by AC archaeology Ltd on land at Axe View,
Wadbrook, Devon in March 2017. The excavation comprised three areas, all of which contained evidence for archaeological activity solely associated with activity previously revealed and recorded in earlier archaeological works undertaken on the site in 2015. The excavation further exposed part of a Middle to Late Bronze Age enclosure ditch of uncertain
function, and a limited amount of other archaeological deposits of similar date. The excavation
areas were positioned principally to target both entrances of the enclosure and any associated
activity. Two ditch terminals representing parts of the entrances to the enclosure were revealed
in areas 1 and 3. Part of a further ditch, of probable post-medieval date, was revealed in area 2.
A small quantity of Middle Bronze Age pottery and worked flint was recovered.
Proposals for post-excavation analyses of the finds along with subsequent publication in the
journal Proceedings of the Devon Archaeological Society and the appropriate deposition of the
archive are presented. |
