Site Event/Activity record EEM14709 - 2017: WB - Horner Farm

Archaeological monitoring and recording was carried out by AC Archaeology during groundworks associated with the excavation of water pipe trench at Horner Farm, Holnicote, Luccombe, Somerset. The monitored groundworks comprised the machine-excavation of a trench, which measured 0.25 metres wide and between 0.8 metres and 1 metre deep. This extended around the eastern and southern perimeter of the store that replaced the Old House. The monitoring of the water pipe trench exposed no archaeological features or deposits. The southern portion of the trench cut through deposits that suggested the presence of a former rough yard surface of probable recent date. To the east of the building, the exposed concentration of mixed stone rubble inclusions within the topsoil may have related to the modification of the adjacent building that replaced the Old House, with this deposit perhaps associated with its demolition and subsequent rebuilding.
