Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring and recording was undertaken by AC archaeology during October 2019 on land at Coleridge Farm Cottage, Coleridge Lane, Chillington, Devon. The archaeological works were comprised of monitoring groundworks associated with the construction of a new slurry store. The stripping of soils from the site exposed a single undated ditch. Where deepest, the ditch contained redeposited natural subsoil dumping over initial silting, indicating that it was in part deliberately backfilled. While nearby cropmark sites suggest the presence of prehistoric activity in the area, its alignment broadly corresponded with the existing field pattern, which is of probable medieval origin. Although an earlier date for the ditch could not be discounted, it was considered that the ditch may have formed part of a former medieval strip field system. |
