Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological investigation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology between November 2012 and May 2014 at the request of David Wilson Homes at Old Park Farm, Pinhoe, Devon. In accordance with an approved Written Scheme of Investigation (WSI) (CA and Nexus Heritage 2011), five areas were excavated across the development area. Scattered prehistoric, Roman, medieval and later features were found across 7.4 ha of the 19.7 ha development site. Dating evidence was sparse, but earlier prehistoric activity was represented by scatters of flintwork, particularly in the eastern part of the site. Ditches and a scatter of pits contained evidence of probably Middle Bronze Age occupation. In the north- west area ditches forming part of a double-ditched oval enclosure appear to be late prehistoric, running through into the Roman period. In the south-central area Roman material from ditches shows occupation here, but there were few other Roman features. Medieval pottery also came from ditches here, and there was more widespread post-medieval activity in the form of ditched enclosures probably relating to Old Park Farm. Material remains, including botanical remains were sparse, and animal bone had barely survived. |
