Full description
Bampton, J. + Morris, B., 2017, Land off Barton Road, Parkham, Torridge: Evaluation (Report - Evaluation). SDV360714.
This report presents the results of an archaeological evaluation carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. for land off Barton Road, Parkham, Devon. This work was undertaken to investigate geophysical anomalies identified in an earlier survey and inform the future use of the site.
Trench 2 was located towards the middle of the site, targeting a positive linear anomaly and an adjacent negative linear anomaly. Ditch [203] corresponded with the positive linear anomaly (see MDV120788). A feature corresponding to the negative anomaly was not identified, though a compacted area of natural was observed at the proximate location of the anomaly. 19th and 20th century pottery was recovered from the topsoil.
Bampton, J. + Boyd, N., 2018, Land off Barton Road, Parkham, Torridge: DBA, Geophysical Survey, Impact Assessment (Report - Geophysical Survey). SDV360706.
Geophysical survey identified a number of anomalies, one anomaly group is thought to relate to an enclosure, possibly Iron Age or later. Other anomalies are thought to relate to former field boundaries and former structures.
Indicative of compacted bank material or a stone lined drain. Possibly associated by proximity and alignment to either the enclosure or a modern metallic service pipe.
