Abstract: |
An archaeological trench evaluation on land adjacent to Malborough Park, Malborough, Devon, was undertaken by AC archaeology during February 2018. The evaluation comprised the machine-excavation of 13 trenches totalling 515m in length, with each 2m wide. These were positioned to provide sample coverage of the site and target the position of the site of a former building present on historic mapping. Negative results were recorded in most trenches indicating that the site is located within an agricultural landscape that has not been a focus for settlement in the past. A field barn or animal shelter of late post-medieval date and known from historic mapping was partially uncovered beneath deep overlying soils. A small collection of finds was recovered from overlying deposits, comprising three sherds of post-medieval pottery, an iron nail and a single prehistoric worked flint. |
