Abstract: |
This report was prepared by Substrata as supporting information for a forthcoming planning application relating to a proposed residential development at the above site. The location of the site is shown in figure 4. An Archaeological Assessment of the site and surrounding area was prepared by Exeter Archaeology during May 2010 (Manning, 2010). The magnetic contrast across the survey areas was sufficient to be able to differentiate between anomalies representing possible archaeological features and background magnetic responses. Forty-five magnetic anomaly groups were identified as pertaining to archaeological deposits or structures. The survey shows a local archaeological landscape dominated by changing field boundaries, field drainage and mining activities. No direct evidence of past settlement was recorded in the dataset although two sub-circular magnetic anomalies could possibly pertain to structures such as round houses or ring ditches. However, at least one of these may be associated with nineteenth century mining activities. Of the remaining anomaly groups, four may be related to former mining activities. A further ten groups coincide with former field boundaries mapped on historical maps from 1840 onwards. The remaining groups are most likely to reflect field boundaries, enclosure boundaries and field drainage of more than one phase of past land management. |
