Walls, S., 2010, Archaeological Watching Brief in Advance of the Construction of 14 Dwellings Together with Associated Works (Report - Watching Brief). SDV347842.

An archaeological watching brief was undertaken prior to construction of dwellings within and adjacent to the curtilage of a small farmstead formerly known as 'Roundswell Farm', and shown on late 19th century Ordnance Survey maps.The main feature of note was the remains of a bank and ditch from a field boundary that ran north-east to south-west across the length of the development plot. This feature is also shown on late 19th century Ordnance Survey maps. It was 2 metres wide at maximum, 0.35 metres deep and at least 57 metres in length, curving slightly towards the south at its south-western end. A number of finds were recovered from the fill, mainly late 18th to 19th century but including 3 residual sherds of 13th to 14th century North Devon ware.
