Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by South West Archaeology prior to the construction of eight dwellings in Steeple Meadow on the eastern edge of Kings Nympton. Four evaluation trenches were dug, with a combined length of approximately 115m. Trench #1 contained a single feature towards its western end: an elongated pit [101], likely to have been a tree throw, and produced no finds. No features were observed in Trenches #2 and #3. Trench #4 contained a small feature at its western end, a circular pit [404] No stratified finds were recovered but a small amount of pottery was collected during the topsoil strip and from molehills on the site. This comprised a fairly unremarkable range of material dating from the medieval period through to the 19th century, as might be expected in the ploughsoil of a field adjacent to a medieval settlement |
