Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Solar Power Generation Ltd to undertake a detailed gradiometer survey over land west of Saundercroft Farm, Whimple, Devon centred on National Grid Reference SY 00900, 97075. The project was commissioned with the aim of establishing the presence, or otherwise, and nature of detectable archaeological features on the site ahead of a proposed solar farm. The site comprises three pasture fields (Fields A-C) some 3.5km west of Whimple and lies on the north facing slope of a gently sloping valley, aligned approximately east to west. The gradiometer survey covered approximately 14.7ha and has detected a limited number of small anomalies of probable archaeological interest along with several anomalies of possible archaeological interest, areas of increased magnetic response and linear trends. There is very little clear archaeology visible in the data set. Two small pit-like anomalies were identified in the north-east corners of Fields A and B and are of probable archaeological interest. A former field boundary was noted in Field A and map regression has indicated it is likely to have been removed in the last 50 years. There are a number of trends present running throughout the data set, the majority of which are clearly ploughing trends given their alignment with the modern field boundaries, although several others not aligned with the current ploughing trends may be archaeological in origin. A number of spreads with increased magnetic responses and large ferrous anomalies that mask the bases of pylons were also noted.
