Abstract: |
An archaeological trench evaluation was undertaken by AC archaeology during February 2013. The site occupies approximately 0.5 hectares to the west of Honiton adjacent to the alignment of the former Roman road between Dorchester and Exeter, which was formerly the site of the Turks Head Inn. The evaluation comprised the machine-excavation of six trenches totalling 60m in length. The evaluation identified a number of highly truncated contexts possibly associated with part of the Turks Head public house, an extension of a tenement boundary ditch to the north of the development area and widespread distribution of urban hortisols possibly created when the area was utilised as open farmland. A single sherd of medieval green glaze pottery was recovered from the boundary feature but overall the pottery was 18th to 19th century in date. |
