Abstract: |
The evaluation fieldwork comprised the excavation of 3no. 30m x 1.8m trenches: • Tr2 was located to test for the presence of further Bronze Age cooking sites adjacent to the stream along the northern site boundary, and to trace the continuation of a probable Bronze Age field boundary. • Tr3 was located to investigate a possible archaeological anomaly recorded during the previous geophysical survey. • Tr4 was located to test for archaeological remains in the north-eastern corner of the site. A further trench (Tr1; shown as unexcavated on Fig. 2) was proposed in the WSI (edp 2020). This trench was not excavated due to the presence of an area of landscape planting (to be retained in the development) in this area of the site. In April 2022, Cotswold Archaeology carried out an archaeological evaluation of land at Hayes Farm, Exeter, Devon, as part of the Exeter Logistics Park (Phase 2) development. A total of three trenches were excavated. The evaluation recorded three undated ditches located in two of the trenches. One of these ditches was on the line of a linear geophysical anomaly interpreted previously as a probable Bronze Age field boundary. Another ditch was on the approximate line of a possible doubleditched boundary detected by the geophysical survey, although no evidence for a second parallel ditch was located. There was evidence for modern truncation in this area of the site. The third trench did not identify any archaeological remains. |
