Abstract: |
An archaeological trench evaluation and historic building survey was carried out at the former Fremington Army Camp, Fremington, Devon. The development area was used during the Second World War as an American Army Hospital. A total of 28 trenches totalling 494m long was excavated. Only four contained archaeological features and these consisted of boundary ditches and banks, as well as isolated pits and postholes all dating to the post-medieval and modern periods. The development of the Army Camp appears to have had a significant effect on the landscape with areas of truncation. A full historic building record of the Second World War Camp was made, and an assessment of the building types, the camp layout and internal layouts of the buildings has been produced. The early post-war additions to the camp have also been recorded. |
