Full description
Farnell, A. J., 2009, An Archaeological Trench Evaluation on Land Between Hill Barton Industrial Estate and the A3052 Exeter to Sidmouth Road, 4, 10-12 (Report - Evaluation). SDV345091.
An east to west aligned ditch located at the western end of trench 19, and terminating within the area of excavation. It measured approximately 1.12 metres wide and was 0.33 metres deep, and was exposed to a length of 4 metres within the trench. Its profile was shallow with moderately sloping sides and a narrow concave base. Several sherds of Roman pottery were recovered from the secondary fill. This is one of a group of features which are likely to represent boundaries and divisions associated with a rural settlement or farmstead dating from the first to the fourth centuries. Other details: Figures 5, 7/3.
