Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring and recording was carried out by AC archaeology during sewer bifurcation works on land off Wear Barton Road, Exeter. A separate associated section of sewer pipe replacement was also monitored between Topsham Road and Newport Road. The site at Wear Barton Road crossed an irregularly-shaped plot of land currently occupied by Countess Wear playing fields and extended towards the River Exe to the southwest. A pair of parallel ditches were the only features of archaeological interest exposed and correspond with the projected line of linear anomalies interpreted from a previous geophysical survey. These are likely to represent the flanking ditches of a former hedgebank boundary of probable post-medieval date. Finds recovered from the subsoil and topsoil at Wear Barton Road monitoring included 16 pieces of residual worked flint, 14 sherds of post-medieval pottery, two fragments of clay tobacco pipe stem, four pieces of post-medieval to modern bottle glass and two small pieces of coal. |
