Abstract:
This report presents the results of archaeological monitoring and recording that was carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) in advance of groundworks for the installation of a new track at Land at Park Farm, Meeth, Okehampton, Devon. A 3m wide track was excavated by machine using a toothless grading bucket and under archaeological supervision. The works in the north-eastern corner of Field 1 consisted of monitoring a c.35m long strip that ran to an aggregate pile to the east. The intended depth of the strip measured c.0.35m deep and it bottomed out within the subsoil. The works in the north-eastern corner of Field 3 consisted of monitoring a c.34m long strip. The intended depth of the strip measured c.0.35m deep and it bottomed out within the subsoil. The stratigraphy of Field 1 was comprised of: topsoil (100), a dark-mid red-brown soft-friable silt-soil c.0.25m thick; overlying subsoil (101), a mid-light brown soft-friable silt, with common small sub-angular stone. The stratigraphy of Field 3 was comprised of: topsoil (300), a mid-dark brown friable silt soil c.0.20m thick; overlying subsoil (301), a mid-light brown soft-friable silt, with common small sub-angular stone (as (101)). No archaeological features were identified within the excavated area and no finds were recovered from site.
