Abstract: |
An archaeological trench evaluation on land at Secmaton Rise, Dawlish, Devon (SX 9655 7787), was undertaken by AC archaeology during October and November 2011. The site comprises a rectangular parcel of land that covers c. 4.6 hectares on the northern edge of Dawlish. It is situated in an area where only limited evidence for archaeological activity has previously been identified. The evaluation comprised the machine-excavation of 21 trenches, totalling 662.5m in length and each 2m wide, with these positioned to provide representative coverage. Largely negative results were recorded, with the only cut feature identified comprising a modern drainage trench in the southeast corner. In the lower-lying central and southern part of the site a sterile colluvial layer was present, which contained no deposits of palaeoenvironmental interest. Only a small number of artefacts were recovered, with these mainly of modern date, although two prehistoric chert waste flakes were also found. |
