Full description
Bampton, J., 2017, Land at Church Hill, Holberton, South Hams: Evaluation (Report - Evaluation). SDV360830.
South West Archaeology Ltd. was commissioned to undertake an archaeological evaluation on land at Church Hill, Holbeton, Devon. The evaluation targeted anomalies identified in a geophysical survey undertaken by SWARCH in 2017. This report presents the results of the evaluation.
Trench 2, aligned north-east by south-west. It was located to target a positive anomaly, a possible cut feature interpreted as a possible long barrow and a pit, in the west of the proposed development area (Field 4). A stony lens with charcoal may have equated to one of the targeted geophysical anomalies. The trench contained no archaeological features or deposits. 19th-20th century pottery was recovered from the topsoil in this trench.
