Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring and recording was carried out by AC archaeology during groundworks associated with the upgrade of a heating system at County Hall, Topsham, Exeter, Devon. County Hall is located adjacent to Topsham Road, which was a Roman road extending from Exeter to Topsham. County Hall was established during the 1950s on the grounds of 18th century Coaver House and Bellair properties, both of which were retained within the campus. A single ditch (F105) was exposed beneath the grassed verge area to the northwest of the car park. Ditch F105 was of likely post-medieval date and approximately corresponds with the position of a boundary shown on the First-Edition 25-inch Ordnance Survey map of 1890. This boundary formed the division between Coaver House and Bellair. No earlier archaeological features or deposits were exposed and no finds were recovered from overlying soils. |
