Abstract: |
An archaeological trench evaluation was undertaken by AC archaeology during September 2022 at The Nab, Ferry Road, Topsham, Exeter, Devon. The evaluation comprised the machine excavation of two trenches totaling 30m in length with each 1.2m wide. Trenches were positioned within the footprint of a proposed replacement dwelling. The site lies on the site of a historic wharf as shown on 19th century mapping. The trial trenches exposed a generally consistent sequence of made ground deposits sealing an estuarine clay. The dumping of material represented the creation of the wharf platform over a former riverbank. Finds recovered from the made ground indicate a 19th century date for this activity, with pottery sherds present in the lower made ground deposits indicating probable deposition in the first half of the century. |
