Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring and recording was undertaken by AC archaeology during the groundworks associated with the construction of new residential development on land at Hayne Court, Tiverton, Devon. Approximately 500m to the southeast of the site lay Bolham Hill Roman Fort. Monitored groundworks comprised the stripping of the internal road layout and the combined house plot area. This was followed by the excavation of footings trenches. Natural subsoil, which consisted of a mid red sand with gravel inclusions, was exposed at a depth of around 0.45m below existing levels in the northwest portion of the stripped area and within each of the house footings trenches. The natural subsoil was overlain by a mid reddish-brown sandy loam subsoil and a mixed topsoil, which included modern construction debris related to the sites former use as a compound. No archaeological features or deposits were exposed by the groundworks. The only finds recovered from the monitored groundworks were three sherds of pottery from the topsoil. The pottery included two sherds of 18th century Bristol/Staffordshire slip ware and a very small body sherd from a medieval jug. |
