Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring and recording was carried out by Oakford Archaeology between June and July 2022 in Bull Meadow Park, Exeter. The work comprised the monitoring of works associated with repairs to the Shutebrook culvert. The excavations revealed a sequence of buried colluvial subsoils and topsoil towards the base of the excavations. These were cut by the substantial boundary wall for No. 11 Maudlin Street shown on the 1746 Exeter Chamber Map Book. Following the construction of the brick culvert in 1838-9 the area to the east of the wall was extensively infilled and levelled to create Bull Meadow Park. The brick wall was probably replaced by a new stone rubble following the northward development of Temple Road in the late 19th century. The finds recovered from the site largely consisted of post-medieval pottery, glass and clay tobacco pipe fragments, although three worked bone artefacts, and a small assemblage of medieval pottery were also recovered.
