Full description

Pink, F., 2015, Land off Pinhoe Road, Exeter: Results of an Archaeological Trench Evaluation (Report - Evaluation). SDV360930.

An archaeological trench evaluation was carried out by AC archaeology in October 2015 on land off Pinhoe Road, Exeter, Devon.

A ditch (F104) of probable medieval date was identified within Trench 1. A single sherd of medieval pottery was recovered from this feature, and three sherds of medieval pottery were recovered from the overlying buried subsoil layer indicating that the ditch is probably medieval or earlier in date. It was consistent with the orientation of field boundaries known from historic mapping and thought to have their origins in late medieval times.

Small ditches or gullies of unknown date were exposed within trenches 2 and 3, although the fill of F202 indicates that it is probably of modern date.

A ditch (F407) of post-medieval date was identified within Trench 4. It contained abundant post-medieval finds which were recovered from both of the fills within the feature. It is probably a field boundary maintaining the orientation of the field pattern established in the medieval period.
