Abstract: |
South West Archaeology Ltd. was commissioned to conduct a desk-based appraisal and historic building assessment of 20 Fore Street, Northam, Devon. This work was undertaken in advance of the excavation of a series of evaluation trenches, which would be located on the basis of the results of this report. The desk-based assessment suggests that Fore Street and the buildings along it are of likely medieval origin, but those building(s) formerly located at the present number 20 had been demolished by the late 19th century, and were subsequently replaced by various 20th century structures. The historic building appraisal confirmed the largely 20th century date for the buildings on the site, and many of the internal boundaries. The southern boundary to the site, and the southern boundary to Areas 4 and 5 are of earlier origins, and may respect or incorporate the fabric of 17th century or earlier boundaries. There is potential for some archaeological test-pitting within almost all of the six areas which comprise the site, but it is considered that Area 1 and to a lesser extent Area 2 have the highest archaeological potential. There is the possibility of the remains of the earlier buildings which occupied the site along the front of the plot (Areas 5 and 6), but the concrete floors and modern buildings may have truncated any such remains. |
