Abstract: |
The fieldwork comprised the excavation of 12 trenches. The trenches measured between 15m and 40m in length; all trenches were 1.8m wide. The trenches were located to test geophysical anomalies, as well as to give a representative sample of the remainder of the site. The location of T4 was adjusted slightly from the location specified in the WSI in order to avoid an overhead power line.
All trenches were excavated by a mechanical excavator equipped with a toothless grading bucket. All machine excavation was undertaken under constant archaeological supervision to the top of the natural substrate. Where archaeological deposits were encountered, they were excavated by hand.
Deposits were assessed for their palaeoenvironmental potential but no deposits were identified that required sampling. In April 2018, Cotswold Archaeology carried out an archaeological evaluation of land to the east of Barbican Road, East Looe, Cornwall. A total of twelve trenches was excavated within the site.
The evaluation identified seven ditches and two pits in the northern and western parts of the site. All but one of these features were undated artefactually. Four of the ditches corresponded to extant/historic field boundaries; one of these ditches contained late post-medieval/modern pottery. Three undated ditches were on a different alignment to the extant field system and may therefore be part of a previous field system of medieval or earlier date. |
