Abstract: |
This report presents the results of an archaeological magnetometer survey at the above site, hereafter referred to as the survey area. It has been prepared for the Devon County Council Environment Group and Mr Simon Dewhurst. Twenty-nine magnetic anomaly groups were mapped as representing possible archaeological deposits or features. Of these, six represent extant field banks of a field system recorded in the Devon Historical Environment Record and thought to be Iron Age. A further two anomaly groups may represent continuations of these field banks beyond the extant remains with a further two, and possibly up to four, groups representing removed field banks or other ground disturbance. One group may represent an earthwork thought to be the remains of an Iron Age hut circle although this is by no means certain. One group denotes disturbed ground with the possibility of heated deposits which could indicate the presence of a ploughed out barrow. Five groups represent different, regular, approximately parallel trends of ground disturbance. With four of these groups the origins of the ground disturbance is not clear and may be relatively recent. The other group may represent historical ridge-and-furrow cultivation with a possible ploughing headland. The remaining magnetic anomaly groups mapped as possibly relating to archaeological deposits or features are likely to represent disturbed linear deposits, such as former ditches or banks, of unknown period and probably from more than one phase of past land management |
