Abstract: |
A detailed magnetometer survey was carried out by Archaeological Surveys Ltd on land at Salston Barton Farm, near Ottery St Mary in Devon. The results show a number of positive linear and rectilinear anomalies within the southern part of the site that may relate to cut, ditch-like features. Another possible ditch-like anomaly also extends southwards from the northern edge of the site. The survey also located a number of former field boundaries that were mapped in the 1840s, with some removed by 1889 and others more recently. The entire site is covered with magnetic debris, indicative of contamination by small ferrous objects possibly incorporated into the topsoil during the spreading of organic material. |
