Abstract: |
The evaluation fieldwork comprised the excavation of three trenches (Fig. 2): • 2no 25m x 1.8m trenches; and • 1no 20m x 1.8m trench. The trenches were located to provide a representative sample of the application site. It was necessary to relocate the trenches from the positions specified in the WSI (CA 2023), in order to avoid the sharply sloping ground in the eastern part of the site. Trenches were set out on OS National Grid co-ordinates using Leica GPS Overburden was stripped from the trenches by a mechanical excavator fitted with a toothless grading bucket. All machining was conducted under archaeological supervision. Records were maintained in accordance with CA Technical Manual 1: Fieldwork Recording Manual. Deposits were assessed for their palaeoenvironmental potential in accordance with CA Technical Manual 2: The Taking and Processing of Environmental and Other Samples from Archaeological Sites. No deposits were identified that required sampling. As no archaeological features were identified during the evaluation, no archive will be prepared. The results of the fieldwork will be held by DCCHET in the form of the final evaluation report and the creation of an OASIS entry (Appendix B), including an uploaded copy of this report. In May 2023, Cotswold Archaeology carried out an archaeological evaluation of land at Vicarage Hill, Kingsteignton, Devon. A total of three trenches were excavated. No features or deposits of archaeological interest were observed, and no artefactual material was recovered. The evaluation recorded deep modern made ground deposits throughout the site. Where the natural substrate was exposed, it was directly overlain by the made ground layers. This is indicative of extensive modern disturbance, which will have had a negative impact on any archaeological remains which may once have been present at the site |
