Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by CgMs Consulting, on behalf of their client PMSS, to conduct geophysical survey on land at Bickham Moor, Devonshire, ahead of a proposed development. An area of 7.5ha survey was required for the proposed development, however to simplify fieldwork operations WA defined a total area of 11ha for surveying. This was carried out using a Bartington Grad601-2 dual sensor gradiometer system over grids 30m x 30m. Of this proposed total 9ha were suitable for detailed gradiometer survey, the remainder of the land being under dense vegetation. The geophysical survey identified linear anomalies of possible archaeology along with numerous, weaker, linear trends. It is difficult to provide a definite interpretation of these features although they are likely to be former field boundaries or ditches. These features are thought likely to continue beyond the extents of the geophysical survey. |
