Abstract: |
An archaeological trench evaluation, carried out in support of a future re-submission of a planning application for residential development on land to the rear of Churchills Farm, High Street, Hemyock, Devon. It is located immediately to the north of where recent archaeological investigations identified a late medieval pottery production site, as well as medieval or earlier iron smelting furnace bases. The evaluation comprised the machine-excavation of two trenches, totalling 11.5m in length. Both trenches revealed a dumped layer, containing significant quantities of ironworking debris. Pottery recovered from these layers dates them to the 15th or 16th century. No in situ furnaces or other structures were present. In one trench a ditch dating to the early post-medieval period was recorded. In the overlying layers and deposits significant quantities of mainly 16th to 17th-century pottery was present, including a number of waster sherds. Smaller quantities of earlier medieval and later post-medieval finds were also recovered. |
