Abstract:
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Oakford Archaeology between May and August 2014 on the Turf Hotel to Powderham Church cycle way, Exminster, Devon. The site lies in an area of archaeological potential on the south side of the River Exe, in an area between the Turf Hotel and Powderham Church. Due to its location it is possible that palaeo-environmental deposits may be exposed. Part of the development lies within land reclaimed from the marshland along the edge of the River Exe in the post-medieval period. A watching brief was maintained during works associated with the construction of a new cycle path and bridge. The topsoil stripping for the site access road and compound adjacent to Powderham Church was monitored in May 2014. This covered an area 350m long and 6-10m wide, extending to a depth of 0.2-0.3m. The topsoil stripping for the remainder of the cycle path and ditch widening was intermittently monitored between June and July 2014. This extended on average to a depth of 0.2-0.3m for the cycle path and approximately 0.5m for the ditch. The works for the new bridge were monitored in June and July 2014 and extended to a depth of 0.3m. No early archaeological features or deposits were exposed. The works identified a layer above the alluvial sands and gravels which almost certainly represents a deposit of made ground associated with the reclaiming of the area in the 18th century.
