Abstract: |
An archaeological trench evaluation on land between Knowle Lane and Tiverton Road, Cullompton, Devon (NGR ST 0128 0730), was undertaken by AC archaeology during December 2010. Towards the southwest part of the site the evaluation identified an area of what appears to be early Romano-British settlement, while to the northeast of this a post-medieval brick and perhaps iron production area was recorded. Romano-British remains present comprised ditches, gullies, pits and post holes, with the associated finds indicating a 1st century AD date. The area of post-medieval industrial activity is named on the 1839 parish tithe apportionment as 'Brick Yard Field' and the associated tithe map depicts a building in this location. Trenches in this area contained extensive large pits and layer spreads thought to represent quarrying and the subsequent dumping of waste. No kilns, furnaces or structures were recorded, but quantities of brick wasters and iron slag were recovered. The remainder of the site contained a small number of late post-medieval or undated ditches, with some of these depicted as boundaries on 19th century historic maps. |
