Abstract: |
An archaeological trench evaluation was undertaken by AC archaeology during May 2019 on land adjacent to Little Liverton Business Park, Liverton, Devon. The evaluation comprised the machine excavation of twelve trenches totalling 418m in length, with each 1.6m wide. The site is located in a general area where the main archaeological interest relates to medieval and post-medieval tin works. A recent geophysical survey of the site, however, established the potential presence of anomalies that may relate to earlier buried archaeology. The anomalies included a possible oval enclosure of later prehistoric type. The evaluation has established that the results interpreted from the geophysical survey were generally accurate, with corresponding archaeological features or deposits exposed in the majority of the targeted locations. The main findings of the evaluation are the confirmation of evidence for a prehistoric enclosure of possible Bronze Age date on the site, while tin streaming works was found across the southern part. Also present were former boundary or drainage ditches. There was only a small number of finds recovered, comprising one sherd of Bronze Age pottery, one sherd of postmedieval pottery and several pieces of worked wood. A soil sample from the enclosure ditch shows that there is potential for the survival of environmental remains. |
