Abstract:		 This work was commissioned by the Exmoor National Park Authority to better understand the nature and context of a set of low earthworks in an area of ground to the west of Ashcombe stream which was once part of the garden and plantation of Simonsbath House. Magnetic (gradiometer) and earth resistance surveys were completed. A possible former field or enclosure boundary was recorded. A possibly branching path or track was recorded in both the gradiometer and earth-resistance data. A possible structure was recorded in the earth-resistance data on the western bank of Ashcombe stream. A further deposit of rubble or a structure was recorded in the resistance data close to the Ashcombe stream on the southern boundary of the survey area. An examination of natural deposits recorded in the data set suggested that the removal of a garden path and the creation of an alternative path between 1891 and 1903 was probably due to water saturation of the ground resulting from works associated with the creation of the Simonsbath House garden and plantation. There is evidence in the resistance data for either a re-routing of the Ashcombe stream or a palaeochannel of the same close to the modern bridge across the stream. This channel and the potential structure recorded in the earth-resistance data on the western bank of Ashcombe stream are together likely to be the origin of the low earthworks that prompted this survey.
