Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological works was undertaken by AC archaeology between October 2017 and November 2018 on land adjacent to the Barn Owl Inn, Aller Road, Kingskerswell, Devon. The archaeological investigations comprised trench evaluation and open area excavations. The archaeological investigations exposed several ditches and gullies and a small number of pits and natural features. The artefactual evidence indicates that they represent use of the site during the medieval and post-medieval periods. There was no evidence for buildings or settlement on the site itself, but the features relate to fields, orchard and garden use in close proximity to the long-lived settlement of Aller and particularly the Barn Owl Inn, formerly Aller House, which may be the location of a medieval manor. A small assemblage of finds comprised medieval and post-medieval pottery, some worked flint, animal bone, a piece of clay tobacco pipe and some burnt clay. |
