Images and Text from an Archaeological Evaluation of Land at Back Lane, North Molton, Devon, November 2014

This collection consists of images and text from an archaeological evaluation by South West Archaeology, of land at Back Lane, North Molton, Devon in November 2014. The majority of the features are likely to be medieval in date. This is not unexpected given the proximity of the site to the parish church and to one of the two principal manorial complexes (The Court House) in the settlement. Some iron slag and some medieval pottery were recovered from the site. The iron slag included material that was diagnostic of smelting and a deposit of concreted smelting waste in a large pit that may be the base of a furnace or a tapping pit.
