Title:	Lyte Lane, West Charleton, South Hams: Evaluation
Originator:	Bampton, J.
Date:	2016
Summary:	South West Archaeology Ltd. to undertake an archaeological evaluation in advance of a proposed housing development in May 2016. This phase of work builds upon a previous geophysical surveys undertaken over and near to the proposed development area in 2000 (Johnson 2000) and 2014 (Dean 2014), and field work including field-walking and excavation in 2000 (Bayer 2000). The results of this evaluation will inform the planning decision and the extent and nature of any subsequent programme of archaeological mitigation required as a condition of a planning consent. A total of 105 potential features were identified, including 40 stakeholes within a probable Middle Bronze Age roundhouse and a number of natural and geological features and deposit. The archaeological features included 39 linear ditches and gullies, four lynchets (additional lynchets were identified), ten postholes (mostly associated with a roundhouse), two pits, three features possibly associated with a roundhouse, a single spread and additional stony areas. Geological features included variation in geology and colluvium deposits and six natural feature were also identified. A large amount of plough-scarring could be seen across the site.
