Abstract: |
Archaeological strip, map and sample excavations were undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in March and April 2014 at the request of Waddeton Park Ltd at Island Farm, Ottery St Mary, in advance of housing development by Bovis Homes Ltd. Four separate areas were excavated across the 8.6-ha development site. The four excavation areas, chosen for their archaeological potential as identified in previous evaluations, all revealed archaeological features. These included pits yielding flints of Mesolithic and early Neolithic date, and most significantly, a medieval building that had apparently suffered fire damage and preserved evidence of its wooden structure and stored crops. There were numerous drainage ditches, some of which may have been prehistoric, but most medieval and later. Some corresponded to 19th-century mapped field boundaries |
