Abstract:
The results of a desk-based assessment, geophysical survey and archaeological evaluation carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) on land at Seckington Farm, Hartland, Devon, in advance of the construction of a new dairy unit and ancillary features. The desk-based assessment emphasises the high potential for archaeological remains and deposits within the proposed development area, most especially of the high potential for prehistoric, Roman and Medieval remains given the known sites surrounding Seckington Farm. The geophysical survey identified a number of linear anomalies, primarily associated with agricultural activity in the medieval and post-medieval periods. The results also suggested the possibility of prehistoric features and a single evaluation trench was excavated in order to sample this potential prehistoric feature. The evaluation revealed not only the presence of this undated feature and the re-cut ditch of part of the identified medieval field system, but identified a further four undated (presumed medieval) ditches, which were not picked-up in the geophysical survey.
