Full description
Morris, B., 11/08/2014, Land at Shortlands Lane Cullompton, Devon. Results of a Desk-Based Assessment and Archaeological Excavation, 45, 75 (Report - Excavation). SDV359548.
A line of 28 or more postholes was uncovered during excavations on land off Shortlands Lane prior to redevelopment. Most were oval in shape, 0.6 metres diameter and 0.2-0.6 metres deep, with vertical sides and flat bases. Few retained any evidence of a post-pipe suggesting that the posts were removed not left to rot in situ. Finds were rare but indicate a date in the 18th century. The function of the posts is unclear but they have formed a temporary property boundary.
