Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring and recording carried out by AC archaeology was undertaken during groundworks associated with the erection of a single dwelling on land at Higher Saunders, Cherry Meadow, Cheriton Fitzpaine, Devon. The monitored groundworks comprised the bulk removal of soils from the development footprint using a tracked machine fitted with a toothless grading bucket. A single NNW to SSE aligned ditch was exposed (F104). This measured a maximum of 1m wide and 0.25m deep with moderately-steep sloping sides and a concave base. It contained pottery, glass, metal and CBM of post-medieval date. Ditch F104 dates to the late 18th century and therefore post-dates the construction of Higher Saunders House. Its alignment, as parallel to the eastern elevation, suggests that it represents a former drainage ditch or sub-division from the formerly larger contemporary plot that extended under Cherry Meadow road to the east. |
