Full description

Berry, N., 2004, Untitled Source, 6 (Report - Assessment). SDV47938.

Linear feature observed during a site visit prior to a proposed residential development in 2004 aligned east to west c25m to the south of the field boundary. The slight scarp has a possible irregular raised area at the western end close to the stream. The feature does not follow former field boundaries so may be of recent origin or predate the map evidence.


Exeter Archaeology, 2005, Archaeological evaluation at the former Halls Engineering Works, Market Square, Hemyock (Report - Evaluation). SDV47937.

Excavation in 2005 by Exeter Archaeology prior to development found evidence of agricultural land use of the site with possible tenement plots to the north & a spread of slag based industrial waste was recovered to the west.
