Abstract: |
Two sections of cable trench (Trenches 01-02), each c.0.60m wide and measuring c.15m in length, were excavated by mechanical excavator to a depth of c.0.70m using a toothless grading bucket (where possible) under archaeological supervision. The stratigraphy varied across the site, Trench 01 containing only layers of compacted/concreted tarmac from the road construction; Trench 02 comprising topsoil, mid yellow-brown friable-soft silt-clay c.0.10-0.20m thick; overlying re-deposited natural, mid yellow-brown friable-soft silt-clay and natural yellow clay up to 0.20m thick; and concrete of the former road construction. No archaeological features or deposits were identified during the works. Despite being situated within the curtilage of the Clovelly Dykes Hillfort, the archaeological monitoring identified only ground disturbance associated with the construction of the existing and former B3237 road surfaces and cabling for roadside streetlights. |
