Abstract: |
Results of a desk-based assessment, historic building recording and archaeological monitoring and recording carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) on land at 13 High Street, Great Torrington, Devon during groundworks associated with the development of the site for new houses and associated infrastructure. The proposal site is one of high archaeological potential, lying within the historic core of the town, on the western side of the medieval marketplace. The town flourished on its markets and fairs, based on agricultural and wool industries through the medieval and later periods. It is situated approximately 70m south of the 14th century parish church and within a block of burgage plots which are bounded by High Street and South Street, both of which would have been early developments in the town's urban structure. The potential for early settlement in the town is alluded to by Neolithic artefacts that have been found within the town. |
