Abstract: |
An archaeological trench evaluation was undertaken by AC archaeology in advance of proposed development of land to the rear of 5 Fore Street, Holsworthy, Devon. The site is located within the centre of Holsworthy and comprises one of a group of properties extending east from Fore Street, which is bounded by Belle View to the south and Church Lane to the north. The site is situated within the historic core of the town, with a settlement recorded at Holsworthy in the Domesday Survey of 1086, indicating pre-medieval origins. 5 Fore Street comprises an early 19th century town house, later adapted into a commercial property. It occupies what is probably one of several burgage plots extending from Fore Street that are likely to be of medieval origin. The site therefore had the potential for associated settlement and small-scale industrial activity in the form of buildings, rubbish pits, former property boundaries etc. |
