Abstract: |
HE Projects was commissioned to undertake an archaeological watching brief ahead of the construction of an access road forming part of the Bude/Stratton Business Park extension development. The length of road was approximately 55m long, with the stripped corridor being 8m wide. An area for a small site compound measuring 10m x 10m was stripped near the field entrance at the southern end of the road. The area examined was approximately 0.07Ha Previously a geophysical survey of the area had been carried out (Exeter Archaeology 2007) which revealed no features of archaeological interest in the immediate area examined, though several anomalies of potential archaeological significance were recorded elsewhere within the field. The site is close to a crop-mark enclosure of probable prehistoric date (MCO38817) that lies 418m to the north-east . Romano-British coins were recorded as being discovered at Binhamy, to the north of the development site (MCO200). The moated medieval settlement site at Binhamy (MCO21883) lies 283m to the north. No features of archaeological interest were recorded in the area studied, though a random scatter of non diagnostic flints hinted at prehistoric activity in the area. A further length of road circa 160m in length and averaging 10m in width plus four (2m x 2m) test pits were stripped in October 2011. Apart from a possible removed field boundary no features of archaeological interest were recorded. |
