Abstract: |
An archaeological trench evaluation carried out on land at Bowhay Farm, Shillingford Abbot, Devon (centred on SX 8943 8874) was undertaken by AC archaeology during September 2013. The proposed development area occupies approximately 21.8 hectares of grass pasture and arable farmland on sloping ground at between approximately 90m - 110m aOD. The evaluation comprised the machine-excavation of six trenches totalling 323m in length, with each trench measuring 1.50m wide. These were positioned both to target anomalies identified by a previous geophysical survey and to sample other areas within the proposed development. Two features of possible archaeological interest were recorded during the evaluation. Each comprised a narrow gully cutting natural subsoil, with no associated finds. They appear to represent sides of a rectangular enclosure identified by geophysical survey. No internal features were exposed. Two prehistoric worked flints and a small number of post-medieval pottery sherds were recovered from overlying layers and from the ditch of a post-medieval hedgebank. |
