Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned to undertake an archaeological evaluation on land some 2.5km south east of North Tawton, Devon. This evaluation was undertaken prior to the construction of nine wind turbines and associated structures and services. The evaluation consisted of 26 trenches and an area of excavation. This investigation successfully located the remains of the known Roman road which runs from east to west through the southern part of the Site. A small area of activity was seen in Trench 11, in the western part of the Site, consisting of five postholes, a pit and a ditch. A number of these ditches could be identified on late 19th and early 20th century maps but others may be of greater antiquity. A stone axe (SF1), found in the northern part of the Site where circular cropmarks have been identified, also indicates prehistoric activity. |
