Abstract: |
An archaeological excavation ahead of the construction of an agricultural building on land to the south of Hill Farm, Dalwood, near Kilmington, Devon was undertaken by Arrowhead Archaeology, assisted by AC archaeology, during May 2014. The work comprised the excavation of features observed following a topsoil and subsoil strip of two rectangular areas totalling c. 2.7ha, in advance of the construction of a new agricultural building and silage store. The removal of overburden exposed the remains of medieval post-built structures, a pit and field system in Area 1 (the new agricultural building). No features were observed in Area 2 (the silage store). Industrial residues of iron smelting and smithing were recovered from linear features, principally a gully which continued beyond the limit of excavation to the west. Other finds included an assemblage of medieval pottery probably dated to the 11th - 12th century AD. |
