Abstract: |
South West Archaeology Ltd. undertook an archaeological evaluation on land at Oakford Villas, North Molton, Devon in March 2014. This entailed the excavation of three 50m trenches that spanned the site. The archaeological evaluation revealed a series of post-medieval ditches that corresponded to a boundary present on the 1840's Tithe map and absent from the cartographic record by 1889. And a parallel series of linear features including one ditch proper that would roughly evenly divide the field into a series of strip fields enclosed in the post-medieval period. Slag from medieval and post-medieval metal working that utilized local mines was also found in the main post-medieval ditch and within the topsoil. No evidence of prehistoric deposits or features associated with standing stones west of the site were encountered. |
