Abstract: |
This report presents the results of archaeological monitoring and recording that was carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) during groundworks that were associated with the installation of a new water pipe at Land on Doverhay Down, Luccombe, Exmoor, Somerset. A single sinuous pipe trench that ran broadly north-east to south-west for a length of c.7500m and that measured c.0.50m in width was opened by tracked mechanical excavator to a depth of c.0.30m using a toothless grading bucket and under archaeological supervision. The stratigraphy was largely consistent across the site. A loose black to dark grey-brown friable sand-silt c.0.06m - 0.15m in thickness overlay a dark grey-brown friable sand-silt subsoil (across the moorland) and a compacted mid-light grey soft clay-silt-sand with abundant sub-angular stone layer of probable made ground (along the edges of the track). No archaeological features were identified and no finds were recovered. |
