Abstract:
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in February and March 2013 at Old Park Farm, Pinhoe, Devon. Twenty trenches were excavated. Evidence was found for prehistoric activity or occupation, in the form of three intercutting ring ditches, within the westernmost part of the site. Two prehistoric worked flints were recovered from one ring ditch fill, and a single piece of burnt stone was recovered from a second ring ditch. Palaeoenvironmental samples taken from all three ditches revealed charcoal present but no burnt or unburnt bone to indicate a funerary association, and the character of these ditches remains uncertain. A series of NW/SE and NE/SW-aligned boundary ditches were also recorded, pre-dating the arrangement of fields depicted on the 1889 OS first edition map. Artefacts recovered from one double-ditched boundary, on a shared alignment with other boundary ditches, suggest that these boundaries may be of 19th-century date. Numerous shallow plough furrows were encountered. Although undated artefactually these probably represent medieval or post-medieval ridge and furrow cultivation remains. Post-medieval/modern field drains and a modern service were also encountered.
