Full description
Walls, S., 2010, Archaeological Watching Brief in Advance of the Construction of 14 Dwellings Together with Associated Works (Report - Watching Brief). SDV347842.
The finds from the topsoil at San Mar included 3 clay pipe fragments, 2 oyster shells, 4 pieces of 19th century glass (including 2 complete bottles), a roof slate, a single piece of chert and 2 possible fragments of kiln furniture. A large assemblage of pottery was recovered, comprised in the main of 17th to 19th century material. North Devon wares also included a sizeable proportion of 13th to 14th century pottery, suggesting that medieval activity was occurring close to the site at that time. This would imply that Roundswell Farm was of medieval foundation rather than a post-medieval farmstead.
