Rainbird, P., 2013, Land at 39 Fore Street, Seaton, Devon: Results of an Archaeological Trench Evaluation (Report - Evaluation). SDV352641.

Pit F703 was sub-circular in shape, but not completely revealed in the trench, and had an
approximate diameter of 2.40m and was 0.65m deep. It contained two fills (704-5). The primary
fill (704) consisted of mid to dark greyish brown moderately compact silty sandy clay with
frequent sub-angular stones up to 0.10m long. It contained medieval pottery and prehistoric
flint, with the latter being regarded as residual. The upper fill (705) did not contain any finds
and consisted of a mottled mid orangey brown compact sandy clay that may be re-deposited
natural.
