Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by AC archaeology at Forches Cross, Teigngrace, Devon, during groundworks associated with the construction of a new gas main, extending alongside the A392 for a distance of around 800m from its southern point at Forches Cross to land adjacent to Stover School at its northern end. The pipeline route is located in an area where cropmarks have been recorded which indicate the presence of possibly prehistoric settlement and agricultural remains on and in the immediate vicinity of the route. The soil strip was not of sufficient quality to enable the recognition of archaeological features, although scanning of the exposed surface did not reveal any artefact concentrations. Further groundworks were limited to small receptor pits, with two of these revealing archaeological features. These were two undated possible pits or postholes, but their positions immediately below the topsoil and the nature of their fills suggests a relatively recent date. |
