Full description

Wells, T. + Newton, L., 2020, Bronze Age Monuments and Iron Age Settlement at Pinn Court Farm, Exeter, 92; Fig 11 (Article in Serial). SDV364781.

Small quantities of medieval pot were retrieved from a series of narrow and shallow ditches (3114-5 and 3120-2) in the north of Area 3. These presumably represent a series of agricultural land divisions. It is possible that the ditches influenced the positions of later, post-medieval land divisions in this area (SDV77281, SDV77304), which shared a similar orientation.
