Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring and recording (controlled watching brief) during groundworks associated with the
construction of a new farm drive and cable trench on land at Caton Farm, Caton, Ashburton, Devon. Natural subsoil (context 101), which consisted of a mid-yellow and mid grey clay was exposed at a depth of between 0.3m and 0.7m below existing levels. It was overlain by a mid-reddish brown clayey loam subsoil (where present) and a mid-greyish brown silty clay loam topsoil (100). One archaeological feature was observed in section in the cable trench. This comprised a broad shallow ditch (F108), measuring 7.5m wide by 0.8m deep, with an irregular base and which contained five clay and silty clay fills (103 to 107). The ditch contained no finds but corresponds with the position of a field boundary
present on the Ashburton parish tithe map of 1840. Subsequent historic mapping shows that the boundary was
removed after the mid-20th century. |
