Abstract: |
An archaeological trench evaluation on the site of a new primary school on land off Crediton Road, Okehampton, Devon, was undertaken by AC archaeology during November 2017. The site as a whole was found to contain little of archaeological interest. A possible posthole and a pit, in the northeast part are of probable post-medieval date. A stony deposit to the south contained finds of late post-medieval date and was located above the subsoil. There was no structure to the arrangement of stones and this may represent a dump for a hard standing. The small number features and the paucity of finds from the site indicates that the new school site is located away from settlement contemporary with the Roman Road, as identified during investigations to the north. |
