Abstract: |
An archaeological trial trench evaluation was undertaken in advance of the construction of four holiday lodges and associated works on land at Lisper Hill, Pancrasweek. The works were required as a condition (no. 4) of planning permission (Torridge District Council 1/0699/2012/FUL). The site is a small pasture field of some 0.3 hectares.The site is situated in close proximity to several Bronze Age barrows. The work comprised the machine excavation of eight trenches totalling 160m in length, with each trench 20m long and 1.6m wide. No evidence was found to indicate prehistoric activity on the site. All finds were from the overlying layers and comprise two sherds of modern pottery which have not been retained. Ditch F602 has the appearance of a ditch which formerly drained in both directions to the Bude Canal in the northwest and the Holsworthy Canal to the southeast. These canals were completed in 1825 indicating that the ditch probably belongs to a period after this date. |
