Abstract: |
This report presents the results of archaeological monitoring and recording that was carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) for the installation of an electric car charging station at Cattle Market Car Park, Barnstaple, Devon. A 0.50m wide by 0.50m wide and 0.50m deep pit was excavated by hand and under archaeological supervision towards the southern boundary of the car park. The pit was excavated within a parking space, and the concrete was cut through using power tools. The location of the pit had to be moved due to heavy root disturbance from a nearby tree to the south, and the pit was therefore moved to the north-west so that it was within a parking space that was directly adjacent. The stratigraphy of the site was comprised of: made-ground of yellow-grey gritty sandy loam (100), with common modern debris and thin roots from the nearby trees that lined the southern boundary of the car park. The results of the archaeological monitoring and recording indicated that there were no archaeological deposits present, and no archaeological features were identified. |
