Introduction
This collection comprises the Digital Archive (images, reports and site records) from an archaeological evaluation undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology which carried out two phases of archaeological evaluation at land at Houghton Barton, Newton Abbot, Devon between in February and March 2018 and September 2019.
880296, RAMM: 18/14, HBN18:
In February and March 2018, Cotswold Archaeology carried out an archaeological evaluation of land at Houghton Barton, Newton Abbot, Devon. A total of 26 trenches was excavated within the site. The evaluation established that archaeological features are absent from the majority of the site. Artefactual material was scarce. The evaluation recorded a substantial ditch in the western part of the site, corresponding to a sub-square rectilinear enclosure identified previously from a cropmark and a geophysical anomaly. Roman pottery was recovered from this ditch.
The evaluation also recorded five undated ditches and an undated pit in the central and western parts of the site. Most of these ditches correspond to former/extant field boundaries visible on 19th-century cartographic sources.
EX0057, RAMM: 19/40, HOU19:
In September 2019, Cotswold Archaeology carried out an archaeological evaluation on land at Houghton Barton, Newton Abbot, Devon. A total of three trenches were excavated. The evaluation recorded a substantial ditch corresponding to a sub-circular enclosure noted by a previous geophysical survey. No artefactual material was recovered and no internal features were present.
