Full description
Pears, B., 2013, Hazard Farm, Harberton, Devon: Trench evaluation (Report - Evaluation). SDV360866.
An archaeological trench evaluation on land at Hazard Farm, Harberton, Devon was undertaken by AC archaeology during February 2013.
Trenches were positioned to investigate a potential multi-phase large sub-circular enclosure. The evaluation identified that the large sub-circular enclosure was a natural outcrop of geology with complex terracing. It comprises the adaptation of a terraced natural outcrop of geology rather than a massive purposely constructed defensive circuit and probably demarcates an area of agricultural infields from the wider farming landscape. The quality of the plateau for the development of occupation within it may have been the reason for choosing the site.
