Abstract: |
Southwest Archaeology was asked to prepare an outline desk-based archaeological assessment, undertake archaeological field-walking and monitoring of geotechnical test pits at land to the east of Exeter Airport - two fields on the north side of the A30 trunk road - prior to seeking planning permission for development of the site.The desk-based research demonstrated that the presence of a small, persistent assemblage of flint flakes and artefacts along the line of the upgraded A30, together with evidence of Neolithic, Bronze Age and Romano-British settlement at no great distance from the site suggested prehistoric activity may well be encountered within the area of the proposed development. This was supported by the prehistoric material collected during the fieldwalking. While little archeological evidence for this was observed during the monitoring of the geotechnical test pits, this is not surprising given the small proportion of the site subject to observation. |
