Full description
Hughes, S. + Valentin, J., 2011, Land at Long Park, Talaton Road, Feniton, Devon. Results of an Archaeological Trench Evaluation, 3, 5 (Report - Evaluation). SDV347003.
The site of a possible Bronze Age enclosure with internal features was revealed during a trench evaluation of land at Long Park, in the north-western part of the site. A large curvilinear ditch (F903) and associated features were recorded in Trench 9 and a probable ditch terminal (F805) and posthole (F803) in Trench 8. No finds were recovered. The profile of ditch F903 is characteristic of an early feature. This together with the sparcity of finds and the proximity of these features to those at Castle Hill suggests that they are prehistoric, probably Middle Bronze Age, in date. F903 is likely to represent part of a larger ditched enclosure located on higher ground in the northern part of the site. The other features present in Trench 9 and 8 indicate a settlement rather than funerary function. See report for full details of features.
