Full description

Whiteaway, T., 2002, Archaeological Evaluation at Wolborough Street and Bradley Lane, Newton Abbot, Devon, 2-5 (Report - Evaluation). SDV336129.

During archaeological evaluation on the north side of Wolborough Street, Trench 8 contained a linear feature and a drain, both aligned north-east to south-west, and two industrial hearths. The linear feature contained four sherds of 13th/14th century coarseware and possible medieval fired clay, in addition to bone fragments, building debris and oyster and mussel shells, and suggests some activity on the site within that period.. Other details: Figures 2-3.
