Seventeen trenches were excavated each targeting geophysical anomalies identified in an earlier survey. An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in December 2014 on Land North and South of Blundell's Road, Tiverton, Devon. A total of seventeen trenches were excavated each targeting geophysical anomalies identified by an earlier geophysical survey. A cluster of postholes containing quantities of Late Neolithic pottery was identified. Environmental samples recovered from the fills of the features contained material indicative of domestic waste. A possible cremation, contained within an almost complete pot of Middle Bronze age date was identified on a high ridge just below the top of a hill. Elements of a series of enclosures of a field system of probable Roman date were identified towards the western extent of the site. A quarry pit, partially backfilled with waste likely derived from Roman metal working was identified in close proximity. Several undated ditches and ditches of post-medieval and modern date were also identified. |
