Abstract: |
An archaeological trench evaluation on land at Taw View, Bickington, near Barnstaple, Devon, was undertaken by AC archaeology during February 2018. The evaluation comprised the machine excavation of 10 trenches totalling 300m in length, with each 2m wide. These were positioned to provide representative coverage of the development area .Most of the trenches contained negative results. However, one trench contained a single linear feature representing a field boundary ditch of post-medieval date. A small collection of finds recovered comprise sherds of pottery, a fragment of ceramic ridge tile, pieces of clay tobacco pipe and a piece of animal bone, all of post-medieval date. A group of five pottery sherds from topsoil came from a single medieval jug. The spread of finds can largely be accounted for by manuring of the fields. |
