Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring and recording associated with the installation of a mobile home as an agricultural workers dwelling on land at Higher Ritson, Halwell, Totnes, Devon (Figure 2) were undertaken by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) at the request of Luscombe Maye (the Agent), on behalf of a private client. This work was undertaken in accordance with a WSI drawn up in consultation with the Devon County Historic Environment Team (Boyd 2023). Topsoil (100), 0.26-0.34m thick, was a mid-dark yellow-brown, friable clay-silt loam with occasional small-medium angular stones (Figure 1). It overlaid Natural (101), a compact clay with frequent small weathered shillet fragments. Plough-scars were occasionally visible cutting Natural (101). Notably, no finds were present on the site. The site contained no significant archaeological features or deposits. No further archaeological works are recommended. |
