Abstract: |
The survey was commissioned in response to a Devon County Council Historic Environment Service brief for a geophysical survey which was produced in response to the planning application DCC/3020/2010. The survey was designed to evaluate the survival of below-ground archaeological deposits across the proposed development site, the results of which will allow the nature, extent and date of any surviving archaeological deposits within the application area to be understood and an appropriate planning decision made by the local planning authority. Survey aims: 1. identify and accurately record the location of any magnetic anomalies that may be related to archaeological deposits, structures or artefacts within the survey area; 2. within the limits of the techniques and dataset, archaeologically characterise any such anomalies or patterns of anomalies; 3. produce a summary based on the survey that is sufficiently detailed to inform any subsequent archaeological investigation about the location and possible archaeological character of the recorded anomalies. The magnetic contrast across the survey area was low but sufficient to be able to differentiate between anomalies representing possible archaeological features and background magnetic responses. Four potential archaeological features were recorded. |
