Wooton, M., 2019, Church Cottage, Upton Hellions, Devon: Monitoring and Recording (Report - Watching Brief). SDV363392.

A watching brief was maintained during the construction of a single storey extension at Church Cottage, Upton Hellions. The groundworks exposed the remains of an infilled terrace likely to be contemporary with the construction of Church Cottage. The terrace was probably constructed to prevent the water from draining from the adjacent hillside directly into the rear of the builidng. 85 sherds of pottery were collected during the works and are largely post-medieval in date. One sherd of medieval pottery dating between 1250-1450 was also collected.
