Abstract: |
An archaeological trench evaluation on Clarkes Lane, Merton, Devon (centred on NGR SS 52609 11989), was undertaken by AC Archaeology during March 2014. The site occupies an area of approximately 0.15 hectares of rough pasture land adjacent to All Saints Church and within the historic core of the village. The evaluation comprised the machine-excavation of three trenches totalling 42m in length, with each trench measuring 1.70m wide. These were positioned to provide sample coverage of the proposed development area. Two trenches contained archaeological features. These consisted of pits, linear features and postholes associated with a small assemblage of 13th to 16th century pottery. There is clearly settlement evidence on the site, but whether an early building is present has not been full established. |
