Abstract: |
South West Archaeology was instructed to undertake archaeological monitoring and recording at the site of the former Church of St Mary, Dartington Hall, Dartington, Devon during groundworks consisting of the excavation of a cable trench and the removal of an existing paved path around the W and S side of the tower and the hand excavation of a trench to create a French drain running against the northern faces of the tower. Only one significant archaeological discovery was made during excavations for the drain; a wall foundation extending N from the NE corner of the tower. This was of well coursed stone rubble bonded with brown lime mortar, and was 0.6m in width and corresponded with scarring visible on the wall face immediately above. It was therefore presumably the foundation of the N part of the W end of the now vanished nave. No intact graves, tombs or crypts were revealed. A few small fragments of disarticulated bone were recovered for re-interment. |
