Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned to design and undertake an archaeological survey and watching brief before and during the removing of two historic structures on Dawlish Warren: a 'zig zag' timber groyne; and the extant remains of a causeway type structure, referred to as the 'Bridge of Sighs'. Wood samples from the 'Bridge of Sighs' were also taken for C14 dating analysis, as the origin and construction period for this structure was unknown. No significant archaeological discoveries were made during the survey or watching brief. The results, when combined with map regression, show that the 'Bridge of Sighs' was probably constructed sometime after 1819 and before 1887. |
