Full description
Untitled Source (Migrated Record). SDV1142.
One rim has applied decoration and two body sherds have incised decoration. The handle is also decorated. The assemblage shows evidence of usage. The in-situ pottery is in a band of grey silty-clay some 0.3m below the turf line. This deposit dips down towards the river. The above sample is being deposited with the RAM Museum, Exeter. Further sherds are with the site finder, mr mitchell and with Torrington Museum. Little Torrington tm indicates that the site was an orchard in the 19th century. Quantity and condition of pottery suggests that there were medieval dwellings in close proximity.

Site revisited. Pottery still visible but after the dry summer there does not appear to have been much further significant erosion. However, further sherds were retrieved from the stream bed and the stone fans into the river. Sherds were also observed in the W bank of the stream but not in the river (high tide) bank to E or W of the site .
