Abstract: |
Archaeological investigations comprising a strip, map and sample excavation and trial trench evaluation were carried out by AC archaeology ahead of the construction of a new energy centre on land north of Tithebarn Lane, Monkerton, Exeter. The site comprised part of a wider grass and scrub-covered plot that sloped down gradually towards the Pinn Brook and an attenuation pond, which both lay to the north. It was situated at around 24m above Ordnance Datum and the underlying solid geology consisted of sandstone of the Monkerton Sandstone Formation. The investigations comprised the stripping of the western portion of the development footprint and the excavation of two trial trenches. The excavations were undertaken using a tracked-machine fitted with a toothless grading bucket and working under constant archaeological supervision. The investigations did not expose any archaeological features or deposits. |
