Abstract: |
This report was commissioned by AC Archaeology Ltd on behalf of Dartington Hall Trust in order to help establish the cultural heritage and archaeological implications of a proposal for a solar array at the above site. The application site lies within a single agricultural field of approximately 4.8 hectares located to the west of Dartington Hall and the proposed solar array will cover approximately 2 hectares of this area extending up to a ridgeline that runs through the field. The magnetic contrast across the area was sufficient to be able to differentiate between anomalies representing possible archaeological features and background magnetic responses. Twenty-two magnetic anomaly groups were identified as possibly representing archaeological deposits or features, the majority of which are fragmented linear and curvilinear groups that are most likely to relate to past field boundaries or other enclosures of unknown date. One curvilinear group has a clear signal across the data set. Of the other anomaly groups mapped, one may indicate the presence of heated materials perhaps filling a ditch or forming a track, wall footing or culvert. Two groups may represent either archaeological pits or natural deposits. One group is suggestive of possible archaeological deposits just outside the north-western boundary of the designated survey area |
