Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological works was undertaken by AC archaeology during July 2018 on land at Allern Lane, Tamerton Foliot, Bickleigh, Devon. The archaeological investigations comprised trench evaluation and subsequent open area excavations. The archaeological investigations exposed a series of pits, with one of these containing the fragmented remains of part of a Beaker pottery vessel dated to the Early Bronze Age period. The remaining pits contained no finds or were clearly tree throws of natural origin. The artefactual and palaeoenvironmental evidence indicates that they represent use of the site during the Neolithic and Earlier Bronze Age and an Early Neolithic radiocarbon date was obtained from one of these. The specific nature of this activity could not be ascertained from the available evidence, but may point to some previously unknown settlement or funerary/ritual activity at this time. |
