Abstract: |
An archaeological assessment and trench evaluation of land at Lower Brook Lane, Tavistock (SX 4781 7291), was undertaken by Exeter Archaeology during May 2010. The desk-based assessment established that a number of buildings existed within the boundaries of the site from at least the mid 19th century. These were shown as three separate structures on the tithe map of 1841. All of these buildings had been demolished by 1904-5 and replaced by new buildings to the east. The evaluation comprised the machine-excavation of three trenches totalling 110m in length, with each trench 1.8m wide. In one trench evidence for part of one of the buildings depicted on 19th-century maps was present, with identified remains including a wall and a cobbled surface. The remains of a former hedgebank were uncovered west of the 19th century buildings. The remaining three trenches contained largely negative results. No finds were recovered pre-dating the post-medieval period. |
