Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring and recording was undertaken by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) during groundworks associated with the construction of a new residential dwelling on land at The Barton, East Putford, Holsworthy, Devon. The monitoring was carried out by P. Webb in accordance with a Written Scheme of Investigation drawn up in consultation with Devon County Historic Environment Team. The site lies in an area of archaeological potential, to the immediate south of the former East Putford church which, although rebuilt in 1822 was described in the 1950s as containing a Norman font and Medieval furnishing and was formerly a chapel to Buckland Brewer. A rectangular area measuring 35m × 22m was excavated under archaeological supervision by a machine using a toothless grading bucket to a depth of up to 0.3m, this being the depth of natural deposits. Two modern features were identified during the groundworks, a compacted surface (103) and a stoned trackway (104). A small number of finds were recovered during the groundworks including: 2× sherds of industrial white ware and 1× flint scraper from topsoil (100); 3× fragments of brick (including engineering brick), 1× animal bone, 1× sherd of industrial whiteware, and 1× fragment of roof slate from trackway (104). All finds, except the flint were discarded on site. |
