Abstract: |
This report was commissioned by AC Archaeology Ltd on behalf of clients in support of a forthcoming planning application. The application area comprises approximately 14.5ha of land, 10.5ha of which was subject to the geophysical survey. The magnetic contrast across the area was sufficient to be able to differentiate between anomalies representing possible archaeological features and background magnetic responses. Twenty-six magnetic anomaly groups were identified as potentially representing archaeological deposits or features, the majority of which are most likely to relate to past agricultural activities and to former field boundaries or other enclosures of unknown date. Five of the groups represent former field boundaries mapped on the Littleham tithe map and on Ordnance Survey maps. One represents a mapped former marl pit recorded in the Devon County Council Historical Environment Record (MDV55223). One group coincides with the location of a former WW2 anti-aircraft gun emplacement (MDV71901) and a further group may be associated with this emplacement. |
