Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was carried out by Oakford Archaeology at St Mary's Church, Ottery St Mary, Devon (SY 0985 9557), during July 2012. The work comprised the hand-excavation of a single trench totalling 5m in length and 0.8m wide. This was excavated in order to establish the archaeological potential of the area between the north transept tower and the choir vestry. The work exposed the tarred ceiling of a second underground chamber associated with the existing boiler room. The remains of a possible medieval wall foundation on the north side of the church were uncovered at the northern end of the trench. The level of truncation was such that no earlier features or deposits were found within the proposed development area. Fragments of medieval earthenware floor tiles, dating to 13th-15th century, were recovered from the disturbed soil. This included a type from the Normandy region of France not previously identified at St Mary's Church. |
