Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring and recording was undertaken during a residential development on land adjacent to 12 Searle Street, Crediton, Devon. The proposed development encompasses the site of an old pub including a small parking area and beer garden. The eastern half of the site (the beer garden) and the south-west corner was at a lower level than the north-west corner of the site (the parking area), which was raised with concrete to the level of Searle Street. The site was subject to a degree of demolition before footings and services could be excavated The proposed development was within the historic core of the town of Crediton and within an area that was probably enclosed and settled in the medieval period. The bedrock is predominantly Crediton Breccia with Creedy Sandstone formations with overlaying soils of the Crediton association (well drained gritty loams). |
