Abstract: |
An archaeological trench evaluation was carried out by AC archaeology in October 2015 on land off Pinhoe Road, Exeter, Devon. The fieldwork comprised the machine excavation of five trenches totalling 116m in length which were positioned to target and characterise a number of anomalies interpreted from a previous geophysical survey. The evaluation found that 'mixed spreads' of possible archaeological origin interpreted from the results of the geophysical survey are not archaeological in nature. However, a small number of previously unknown archaeological features were identified. These include a series of boundary ditches one of which is probably Iron Age in date. A small number of deposits and features matching the location of buildings depicted on historic maps and dating to the late post-medieval and modern periods were exposed. No remains associated with the medieval settlement of Pilton were found in the evaluation. A small quantity of pottery of prehistoric and medieval date was recovered along with a larger assemblage of post-medieval pottery. |
