Abstract: |
The site lies within the historic core of Lympstone, immediately to the east of the Parish church of St Mary's. Lympstone House to the north dates to the mid-19th century, a replacement building for an earlier dwelling that lay further to the west and is shown on the 1841 Tithe Map. This map also shows a small 'L'-shaped building immediately north of the development footprint. Archaeological work to the south-west has recovered an assemblage of artefacts that include Mesolithic and Neolithic flint and a large amount of pottery sherds, including late Bronze Age/early Iron Age, late Saxon/early Norman, medieval, and post-medieval suggesting a continuity of human occupation in the area over several thousand years. An evaluation was carried out prior to the start of groundworks. Three trenches, measuring 30m in total, were excavated, covering the footprint of the proposed development. These revealed modern disturbance extending across the whole of the site. |
