Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by South West Archaeology (SWARCH) prior to the proposed erection of a dwelling and formation of access on land adjacent to No.70 Shortlands Road, Cullompton, Devon. The area of the proposed footprint of the building and access/turning area were stripped by a tracked mechanical excavator using a 1.4m wide toothless grading bucket under strict archaeological supervision. Due to the large depth of topsoil the area for the access road and services was only reduced to formation level (c.0.3m below current ground level) and therefore only the area of the proposed building footprint was excavated onto the natural subsoil. Two archaeological features were identified within the north-east portion of the site, these were the edge of a pit [106] against the northern boundary bank and a 0.35m wide linear [104] running south-east by north-west across the stripped area. The finds recovered were generally of an 18th century and later date, with only 2x small flint waste flakes (4g) suggestive of earlier activity within the vicinity of the site. |
