Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring and recording was carried out by AC archaeology during groundworks associated with the construction of an agricultural livestock building on land at Higher Coxes Farm, Weston, Sidmouth. Higher Coxes Farm lies approximately 600m to the east of Weston on land north of Berry Hill Road. The position of the proposed new livestock building is located on the west side of existing farm buildings on what is currently rough surface for materials storage. It lies on flat ground at 165m aOD. The monitoring comprised the machine excavation of two trenches totalling 33m in length, with each trench 0.9m wide. These were positioned to provide representative coverage of the proposed development area. No archaeological features or deposits were exposed by the groundworks. The presence of a mixed soil and demolition spoilheap south to the site and temporary road surface at the north part of the development area suggested that the site had been previously stripped and extensively disturbed probably during the late 20th century. |
