Abstract:
Archaeological monitoring and excavation was undertaken at Middle Burrow Farm in advance of agricultural development, including the construction of an automated milking parlour. This work was prompted by the proximity of the site to several Bronze Age barrow cemeteries.Excavations within the footprint of the proposed development uncovered the remains of a large late Iron Age roundhouse and two four-poster structures, one of which post-dated the roundhouse. The roundhouse is one of the largest and most complete examples excavated in Devon, and appears to have been dismantled when it reached the end of its use-life. It is probable the roundhouse and four-poster structures formed only one part of a larger open settlement similar to examples recently excavated near Truro in Cornwall, but given the proximity of the Bronze Age barrow cemetery, it is possible the location was selected as much for its ritual associations as agricultural or demographic ones.
