Abstract: |
South West Archaeology Ltd. was commissioned by Robert Pollock of Natural Power Consultants (the Agent) to undertake a geophysical survey on Land at Dunsland Cross, Bradford, Devon, prior to the erection of three wind turbines (95m and 100m to tip) with associated infrastructure. An archaeological assessment (Archaeological Services WYAS Report 1824) had previously been prepared for the site. The fields probably formed part of the Manor of Dunsland, and the field-name element warren as recorded in the tithe apportionment, would suggest some archaeological potential for the site. However, the geophysical survey would suggest the archaeological potential of the site is low to negligible. Ground conditions, local vegetation and historic land use all indicate the area has largely been used as rough grazing. If features relating to a rabbit warren (e.g. pillow mounds) are present, they were not identified in the survey and are probably located on higher ground to the north and east. On the basis of this survey, it is unlikely any further archaeological works are justified. |
