1451 sherds of pottery were recovered during a watching brief on a pipe trench across Pigs Paradise which is throught to have cut through the site of a medieval farmstead. The sherds which date mainly circa 1150-1350 are largely of North Devon type but wares from Somerset, Bristol and Wiltshire are also represented and indicate contact with the ports at Bideford and Barnstaple and also probably Bridgewater and Bristol. The quantity of pottery is considered to be typical of the site of a medieval farmstead or hamlet. Two sherds of imported Dark Age amphorae and a small collection of lithics were also recorded.
