Abstract: |
An archaeological trench evaluation was undertaken by AC archaeology during June 2023 on land at Greenacre, Trood Lane, Matford, Devon. The evaluation comprised the machine excavation of five trenches totalling 75m in length, with each 1.0m wide. These were positioned to target the footprint of a proposed new residential development. The area investigated lay immediately adjacent to a recently recorded Romano-British enclosure. The trial trench evaluation exposed only post-medieval to modern activity on the site. This comprised thick made ground layers that represented the creation of a terrace dating to around the late 19th to early 20th century and likely associated with the grounds of the adjacent Trood House. A former field boundary ditch relating to a pre- existing field pattern shown on historic mapping was exposed beneath and represented the only archaeological feature present in the trenches. This had been infilled during the later 19th century. |
