Abstract: |
Archaeological trial trench evaluation forming part of a programme of archaeological work was undertaken ahead of the construction of a detached dwelling on land at Back Street, Modbury. The site lay within the historic core of Modbury on land to the rear of properties extending north from Church Street, in what would have been probable burgage plots. It comprised an irregularly-shaped plot which was occupied by a garden and lay on ground that sloped gradually to the south. The work comprised the machine-excavation of three trenches totalling 24m in length, with each trench 1.6m wide. These were positioned to provide a sampled coverage the site. No archaeological features were exposed by the work. A small quantity of post-medieval pottery and glass was recovered from the garden soil. |
