Abstract: |
This report presents the results of a monitoring of agricultural impacts that was carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) for a heritage management strategy at Bow Henge, Bow, Mid Devon. It was clear that ploughing had been undertaken very carefully, however in much the same way as the 2021 visit a small scatter of twenty-three blue glass chips were noted in one location. The blue glass chips were seen in the approximate position of Test Pit 23 and they were subsequently recovered. It is recommended that the monitoring of agricultural impacts continues on the site so that it can be seen whether this process becomes more widespread following an additional year of ploughing and agricultural activity. It is likely that the plough only just caught the buried cache due to the small number of blue glass chips that were visible, though this now makes two buried caches that have been lightly caught by ploughing and agricultural activity. A total of four flint flakes were recovered during the site visit, all of which came from near to the Henge location, and these will form part of the site archive that will be deposited with the Royal Albert Memorial Museum in Exeter. |
