Full description
Dyer, M. J., 1994, Archaeological Observations of South Molton Water Supply Scheme, 2 (Report - Watching Brief). SDV90774.
Fieldwalking of pipeline corridor in 1994 recorded areas of dense, grey/brown clayey soil with charcoal and some burnt clay extending over circa 20 metres approximately midway between Parsonage Lane and Station Road. It could not be determined whether any of these areas truly represented features, since there were many natural patches of dark manganese staining and grey shale. The few associated post-medieval sherds may have been residual from the topsoil, which produced a lot of pot along this part of the route.
