Abstract: |
Archaeological observations and recording were undertaken at Pound Lane, Teignmouth during groundworks ahead of the construction of five flats. The site occupies a triangular plot on the corner of Pound Lane and French Street in the historic centre of Teignmouth. Works entailed the monitoring of an interconnected series of foundation trenches, excavated to a maximum depth of 0.60m and measuring 1.10m wide. No features or deposits were found to indicate significant archaeological activity within the area of the development. The incidence of the probable garden soil across the entire site appears to correlate to mid-to-late 18th-century maps, particularly those of 1759 and 1771, which seem to show the site as a garden plot. |
