Abstract: |
An archaeological trench evaluation was carried out for a proposed wind energy development on land at Great Shelfin Farm, North Devon. Limited archaeological work has been previously carried but a number of extant Bronze Age barrows are recorded in the vicinity. The evaluation comprised the machine-excavation of nine trenches, totalling 465m in length. Across large parts of the site negative results were recorded, but a re-cut drainage ditch/channel and two former agricultural boundary ditches were identified, one of which contained two sherds of medieval pottery. The alignments of the boundary ditches indicate that they are likely to pre-date the establishment of the present post medieval/modern field pattern. |
