SUMMARY
Project Name: Land at Sentry’s Farm Location: Exminster, Devon NGR: 24928 870070 Type: Evaluation Date: 21-28 November 2013 Planning Reference: 13/02614/MAJ Location of Archive: To be deposited with Royal Albert Memorial Museum Accession Number: RAMM: 13/23 Site Code: SEF 13
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in November 2013
on Land at Sentry’s Farm, Exminster, Devon. Four trenches were excavated.
The evaluation has identified a small number of archaeological features within the proposed
development area. These features were confined to the three westernmost trenches.
Undated pits were encountered and these appear to be similar in nature to a number of pits
identified during an earlier archaeological evaluation immediately to the north of the current
site. The isolated nature of these pits, coupled with lack of dating evidence from either phase
of evaluation, makes a clear interpretation of their function impossible at present. An
undated ditch was also identified and this probably relates to land management and/or
drainage.
A ditch of post-medieval date was identified and this would appear to relate to agricultural
activity and/or land division. Two further, undated, ditches on a similar alignment were also
identified and these may be broadly contemporary.

Land at Sentry’s Farm, Exminster, Devon: Archaeological Evaluation
1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 In November 2013 Cotswold Archaeology (CA) carried out an archaeological
evaluation for Bovis Homes on Land at Sentry’s Farm, Exminster, Devon (centred
on NGR: 24928 870070; Fig. 1).
1.2 An application (ref: 13/02614/MAJ) has been made to Teignmouth District Council
(TDC) for development of 65 dwellings with associated means of access, highway
infrastructure, parking, landscaping and open space. The programme of
archaeological works to which this report pertains is part of a staged archaeological
mitigation strategy for this site, and is in accordance with advice issued by Stephen
Reed, Archaeologist, Devon County Council Historic Environment Team (DCCHET),
archaeological advisor to TDC. An initial phase of archaeological evaluation (EA
2010a) has been undertaken within the north of the proposed development area and
a further programme of archaeological works in the northern area, that is subject a
separate planning reference (11/00404/MAJ), has been designed (CA 2013a). The
evaluation that this current report refers to was targeted within the southern part of
the site that had not previously been evaluated.
1.3 The evaluation was carried out in accordance with a detailed Written Scheme of
Investigation (WSI) produced by CA (2013b) that was approved by Stephen Reed,
DCCHET, archaeological advisor to TDC. The fieldwork also followed the Standard
and guidance for archaeological field evaluation (IfA 2009), the Management of
Archaeological Projects 2 (English Heritage 1991) and the Management of
Research Projects in the Historic Environment (MORPHE): Project Manager’s Guide
(English Heritage 2006). It was monitored by Stephen Reed, including a site visit on
the 26 November 2013.
The site 1.4 The proposed development area is 5.13ha in extent, and comprises agricultural land
on the southern edge of Exminster, approximately 0.75km from the town centre, and
adjacent to the A379, which forms its eastern boundary. The site is bounded to the
north by Sentry’s Orchard and associated residential dwellings and to the south and
west by open fields. The site lies at approximately 20m AOD, on land that drops
away to the north-east.

1.5 The underlying solid geology of the area is mapped as Heavitree Breccia of the
Permian period (BGS 2013). The preceding trial trench evaluation undertaken within
the northern part of the site identified the natural geological substrate as reddish
brown sandy clay (EA 2010a). The natural substrate encountered during the current
phase of evaluation trenching comprised yellow and red clays and clay-sands with
outcrops of shaly mudstone.
Archaeological background 1.6 The application site is located in an area of dense prehistoric activity; a prehistoric
double-ditched enclosure lies 100m to the west of the site and four other known
prehistoric or Roman sites are within 500m of the site (EA 2010b). The minster at
Exminster was founded in the eighth century, and there was almost certainly
settlement existing in the area at the time. Sentry’s Farm is first documented in the
early 14th century.
1.7 Archaeological evaluation of the northern portion of the land at Sentry’s Farm was
undertaken by Exeter Archaeology (EA) in September 2010 (EA 2010a),
demonstrated the presence of archaeological features within the application area.
Charcoal from one of the features produced a radiocarbon date indicating that it was
backfilled in the Anglo-Saxon period. Finds from the site included Late Neolithic or
Early Bronze Age struck flint and Bronze Age, Roman and medieval pottery,
although all of these finds were from a layer of colluvial material sealing the
archaeological features. Three ditches were interpreted as forming a single north-
east/south-west aligned boundary ditch with a prehistoric or Roman date (ibid.).
Archaeological objectives 1.8 The objectives of the evaluation were to provide information about the
archaeological resource within the site, including its presence/absence, character,
extent, date, integrity, state of preservation and quality. In accordance with the
Standard and guidance for archaeological field evaluation (IfA 2009), the evaluation
was designed to be minimally intrusive and minimally destructive to archaeological
remains. The information gathered will enable TDC to identify and assess the
particular significance of any heritage asset, consider the impact of the proposed
development upon it, and to avoid or minimise conflict between the heritage asset’s
conservation and any aspect of the development proposal, in line with the National
Planning Policy Framework (DCLG 2012).

Methodology 1.9 The fieldwork comprised the excavation of four trenches, each measuring 50m in
length and 2m in width, in the locations shown on the attached plan (Fig. 2).
Trenches were set out on OS National Grid (NGR) co-ordinates using Leica GPS
and surveyed in accordance with CA Technical Manual 4 Survey Manual (2012).
1.10 All trenches were excavated by mechanical excavator equipped with a toothless
grading bucket. All machine excavation was undertaken under constant
archaeological supervision to the top of the first significant archaeological horizon or
the natural substrate, whichever was encountered first. Where archaeological
deposits were encountered they were excavated by hand in accordance with CA
Technical Manual 1: Fieldwork Recording Manual (2013).
1.11 Deposits were assessed for their palaeoenvironmental potential in accordance with
CA Technical Manual 2: The Taking and Processing of Environmental and Other
Samples from Archaeological Sites (2003). No deposits were identified that required
sampling. All artefacts recovered were processed in accordance with Technical
Manual 3 Treatment of Finds Immediately after Excavation (1995).
1.12 The archive and artefacts from the evaluation are currently held by CA at their
offices in Kemble. Subject to the agreement of the legal landowner the artefacts will
be deposited with Royal Albert Memorial Museum under accession number RAMM
13/23, along with the site archive. A summary of information from this project, set
out within Appendix B, will be entered onto the OASIS online database of
archaeological projects in Britain.
2. RESULTS (FIGS 2-5)
2.1 This section provides an overview of the evaluation results; detailed summaries of
the recorded contexts and finds are to be found in Appendices A and B respectively.
2.2 All identified archaeological features cut either the natural substrate or the overlying
colluvium.
2.3 A number of small discrete features identified in Trench 4 were initially considered to
represent possible pits or postholes. However, subsequent hand cleaning and

Land at Sentry’s Farm, Exminster, Devon: Archaeological Evaluation
excavation of these features revealed that they were highly irregular in plan and
section and clearly undercut the surrounding natural substrate. Therefore, they were
interpreted as evidence of tree root action. An irregular feature, 208, was also
identified in Trench 2 and was interpreted as a treethrow pit due to its indistinct
edges and irregular nature in both plan and section.
General Stratigraphy 2.4 In Trenches 1, 2 and 4 the natural substrate, comprising yellow and red clays and
clay-sands with occasional outcrops of shaly mustone, was recorded at a depth of
between 0.98m and 1.36m below present ground level (bpgl). In these trenches the
natural substrate was overlain by a sterile silt clay deposit, measuring between
0.33m and 0.6m in thickness, representing an episode of colluviation. This deposit
was overlain by a silty sand subsoil, measuring between 0.29m and 0.65m in
thickness, which was in turn sealed by topsoil ranging between 0.16m and 0.36m in
thickness.
2.5 In Trench 3 the natural substrate, again comprising yellow and red clays and clay-
sands with frequent outcrops of shaly mudstone, was recorded at a depth of 0.4m
bpgl and was directly overlain by topsoil.
Trench 1 (Figs 2 & 3) 2.6 The natural substrate, 103, was identified at a maximum depth of 0.98m bpgl in
Trench 1. It was cut by an undated pit, 104, which was in turn cut by an undated
ditch, 106.
2.7 Small, sub-circular pit 104 was partially exposed towards the north-western end of
the trench. It measured 0.74m in width and 0.32m in depth, had moderately sloping
sides and a concave base. It contained a single, sterile sandy silt fill, 105, which
appeared to derive from silting (Fig. 3; section AA). The fill of this pit was cut by ditch
106.
2.8 Ditch 106 was aligned north-east/south-west. It measured 1.86m in width and 0.18m
in depth, had gently sloping sides and a slightly concave base and contained a
single, sterile silty sand fill, 107 (Fig. 3; section AA).

Trench 2 (Figs 2 & 4) 2.9 The natural substrate, 203, was identified at a maximum depth of 1.21m bpgl in
Trench 2. Two undated pits and an undated treethrow pit were identified within the
trench, all of which cut colluvial deposit 202.
2.10 Small, sub-oval pit 204 was partially exposed towards the centre of the trench. It
measured 1.25m in width and 0.48m in depth, had moderately sloping sides and a
flat base. It contained a single, sterile sandy silt fill, 205, which appeared to derive
from silting (Fig. 4; section BB). The fill of this pit was cut by pit 206.
2.11 Small, sub-circular pit 206 measured 0.67m in width and 0.34m in depth. It had
moderately sloping sides, a concave base and contained a single, sterile sandy silt
fill, 207, which appeared to derive from silting (Fig. 4; section BB).
Trench 3 (Figs 2 & 5) 2.12 The natural substrate, 301, was identified at a depth of 0.4m bpgl in Trench 3. It was
cut by three parallel north-west/south-east aligned ditches 302, 304/309 and 306.
2.13 Undated ditch 302 was identified towards the centre of the trench. It measured
1.86m in width and 0.3m in depth. It had an open ‘U’-shaped profile, moderately
sloping sides, a concave base and contained a single sandy silt fill, 303 (Fig. 5;
section GG).
2.14 Ditch 304/309 was identified to the north of ditch 302. It measured 3.75m in width
and was 0.49m deep. It had an irregular stepped profile, gently sloping sides and a
flat base. A single fragment of post-medieval clay pipe stem and a block of volcanic
rock (Exeter trap stone) were recovered from the single stony silt fill, 305/308, of this
feature (Fig. 5; sections EE and FF).
2.15 Undated ditch 306 was identified to the north of ditch 304/309. It measured 1m in
width and 0.26m in depth. It had an irregular ‘U’-shaped profile, moderately sloping
sides, a concave base and contained a single sandy silt fill, 307 (Fig. 5; section DD).
The finds 2.16 Finds recovered from evaluation included clay tobacco pipe and a stone object. This
material will not be retained.

Clay tobacco pipe
2.17 One fragment of a clay tobacco pipe stem was recovered from ditch fill 308 (the
single fill of ditch 309). It can be broadly dated to the late 16th to late 19th centuries.
Stone
2.18 A fragment of volcanic rock (Exeter trap stone) was recovered from ditch fill 305 (the
single fill of ditch 304). This rock has been used locally in construction and the
fragment recovered displays one smooth surface which may have been worked.
However, as the rock occurs naturally in a form resembling blocks it may be a
natural fragment.
3. DISCUSSION
3.1 The evaluation has identified a small number of archaeological features within the
targeted part of the proposed development area. These features were confined to
Trenches 1, 2 and 3. The majority of features identified during the evaluation
remained undated despite sample excavation.
3.2 Undated pit 104 and undated pits 204 and 206, identified in Trenches 1 and 2
respectively, appear to be similar in nature to a number of pits identified during an
earlier archaeological evaluation within the northern part of the site (see
Archaeological Background above) and it is therefore possible that they are broadly
contemporary. However, all of the pits identified during the preceding archaeological
evaluation were sealed by colluvial deposits whereas the pits identified in Trench 2
of the current evaluation demonstrably cut the colluvium present within the trench.
The isolated nature of these features, coupled with lack of dating evidence from
either phase of evaluation, makes a clear interpretation of this activity impossible at
present.
3.3 A charcoal rich pit identified in Trench 10 of the earlier archaeological evaluation
produced a radiocarbon date which indicates that it was backfilled in the Anglo-
Saxon period (EA 2010a). No pits identified during the current evaluation contained
charcoal and no evidence of Saxon activity was exposed by the current evaluation.
3.4 Clay pipe stem of post-medieval date was recovered from the fill of ditch 304/309
located in Trench 3. The function of this ditch remains unclear at present; however it

is likely to relate to land management and/or drainage. Two further, albeit undated
ditches (302 and 306), were also identified within Trench 3. These ditches are
located immediately to the north and south of ditch 304/309 and are similarly aligned
north-west/south-east. It is therefore possible that all three ditches, 302, 304/309
and 306, form part of the same boundary and are either broadly contemporary or
represent movement of the boundary over time. It should be noted that the
orientation of these ditches is not too far off the alignment of the extant field
boundaries. A further undated ditch was identified in Trench 1 and would again
appear to be related to land management and/or drainage. This ditch was
demonstrated to cut earlier pit 104 within the trench. It was also on a different
alignment to the ditches in Trench 3
3.5 Overall, the potential for identifying dense activity of any date has been shown to be
low across the current evaluation area. The lack of dating evidence makes a robust
assessment of the remains present difficult, but the presence of ephemeral
prehistoric and post-medieval remains is of greatest probability.
