Abstract: |
This report was commissioned by AC Archaeology Ltd on behalf of clients and was produced by Substrata in preparation for submission of a forthcoming planning application. The magnetic contrast across the survey areas was sufficient to be able to differentiate between anomalies representing possible archaeological features and background magnetic responses. A total of 19 magnetic anomaly groups were identified as pertaining to potential archaeology. Two of the anomaly groups are likely to represent former Devon banks mapped as field boundaries on the 1889 Ordnance Survey 1st edition map of the area and subsequently removed. Two anomaly groups coincide with the location of a small sub-rectangular enclosure recorded in the Devon County Council Historical Environment Record (entry MDV28880). A further group may represent a sub-circular archaeological structure such as a ring ditch or round house although the data is disrupted by buried ferrous material and so this interpretation is open to question. The remaining anomaly groups may relate to archaeological linear features, such as field boundaries or other enclosures, from more than one phase of past land management. |
