Abstract: |
An archaeological trench evaluation was undertaken by AC archaeology during November 2017 on land at Challonsleigh Farm, Lee Mill, Devon. The evaluation comprised the machine-excavation of five trenches totalling 150m in length, with each trench 1.5m wide. These were positioned to provide sample coverage of the site. The site is located close to where a recent investigation had identified a Middle Bronze settlement enclosure and medieval building. Two small ditches of probable medieval date were recorded in the southeast corner of the site. Further evidence of Middle Bronze Age and medieval settlement was not encountered, although a natural tree throw contained a flint bladelet of Late Mesolithic to Early Neolithic form. |
