Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Oakford Archaeology in March 2023 at The Gospel Hall, Okehampton, Devon. The site, consisting of a triangle of land between Crediton Road and East Street, had been identified through archaeological assessment as being the location of one of the town’s medieval markets. A watching brief was maintained during works associated with the demolition of the existing building and the construction of a new extension. The work showed that the site had been extensively terraced during the construction of the existing building in c.1930. Although earlier soils survived underneath the western and southern boundary walls no deposits, features or dating evidence indicative of archaeological activity were identified within the footprint of the development. Nothing of significance was found |
