Site Event/Activity record EEM14736 - 2017: WB - West Luccombe Farm

Context One Archaeology & Heritage (C1) carried out archaeological monitoring and recording during groundworks related to the replacement for a raw water main construction at West Luccombe Farm, Porlock, Somerset during June 2017. The project was commissioned by Wessex Water plc under a Term Agreement with C1. The monitoring and recording was requested by the Exmoor National Park Authority Historic Environment Service (HES) due to the proximity of the route of the pipeline to heritage assets in some areas. Whilst a medieval farmstead is recorded in the area of Blackford Cottage, no indication of this was seen in the pipeline route. The potential location of the farmstead is not known, but there was no evidence for it being located to the north of Blackford Cottage in the area affected by the pipeline.
