Full description
Farnell, A. J., 2009, Archaeological Evaluation and Recording on the Line of the the Lee Moor (Ridding Down) China Clay Pipeline, Cornwood, Ivybridge, Devon, 1-2, 7 (Report - Evaluation). SDV347433.
Archaeological evaluation and recording was undertaken along the route of a new pipeline between Headon China Clay Works and the Lee Moor operational area to the north-west. The route crossed an area of known archaeological sensitivity, with surviving remains and deposits from the prehistoric to the post-medieval periods, including elements of a Bronze Age reave system. A trench excavated across a field boundary towards the south end of the pipeline route revealed this was entirely of post-medieval origin, being part of a phase of wall construction truncating the southern end of a medieval field system. The boundary consisted of a granite rubble wall set on a low bank, with a small drainage ditch on the north side. There is no evidence to suggest that the ditch and bank had formed an earlier phase of the boundary. Other details: Figures 2-3, 6.
