Abstract: |
Context One Archaeological Services Ltd carried out an archaeological programme of works during groundworks for the Exe Estuary Trail Scheme between Exton and the mouth of the River Clyst in East Devon. This comprised desk-based research of the Site and archaeological monitoring and recording of development groundworks. The archaeological work was requested by the Local Planning Authority (East Devon District Council) on the advice of Mr Bill Horner (Archaeological Officer, Devon County Council) as a condition of granting planning permission for the construction of the Exe Estuary Exton to River Clyst Cycle/Walkway. The archaeological work has recovered evidence for a medieval pattern of land division which survived until the mid-nineteenth century. Artefacts recovered from the topsoil suggest that the extensive arable fields of that time were manured and that there was wild game shooting. A wall associated with a branching of the railway at the north end of the embankment represents the remains of a service line to the Odam's Manure Factory which was a significant local feature from the end of the nineteenth century and the first half of the twentieth century. |
