Abstract:
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by ISCA Archaeology between November 2021 and March 2022 at Poughill Road, Poughill, Bude, Cornwall during groundworks associated with the development of 25 new residential dwellings. The archaeology present was dispersed across the site (totalling 2.5ha), with two circular enclosures to the north and north-west, three linear ditches to the east, west and north and a small number of dispersed gullies, pits, and posthole. The circular enclosures dated to the Middle Iron Age and likely represented dispersed late prehistoric rural activity and settlement at this time. The ditches remained undated though they could be prehistoric in origin as they appeared to cut the later subsoil, though a post-Roman or medieval date is possible. The north/south aligned ditches to the west and east of the site ran parallel to the existing field boundary and may have been part of earlier field sub-divisions. Elsewhere an isolated east/west aligned gully to the south and the posthole to the south-west were undated. A single isolated pit, located to the south contained a single sherd of Middle Iron Age pottery, similar to those found within the two ring gullies. However, the pottery was considerably abraded and may suggest that it could pre-date the ring gullies.
