Abstract: |
Archaeological recording was undertaken by Oakford Archaeology on land behind No 25 Fore Street, Chudleigh, Devon, during November and December 2013, following the start of the development. The work initially comprised recording on foundation trenches and the excavation of 5 trenches totalling 74.9m in length, with each trench 1.6m wide. A watching brief was subsequently undertaken on plots 7-9. The desk-based appraisal has established that a number of buildings existed within the boundaries of the site from at least 1843, with these shown as four separate structures on maps of 1838 and 1890. Most of these buildings had been removed by the 20th century, replaced by more recent additions of concrete block construction. Evidence for earlier activity was confined to the northern end of the site where a single ditch terminus and posthole were exposed. These contained pottery of late 13th-16th century date. In the rest of the site there was only limited evidence of archaeological activity. Four wall foundations, relating to post-medieval buildings shown on the 1890 and 1905 Ordnance Survey maps, were located along the south, north and east edge of the development. The remains of a cobbled surface, probably associated with these buildings, were also identified. |
