Abstract: |
A detailed gradiometer survey was conducted over land to the east of Pinn Lane near Monkerton on the northeast edge of Exeter, Devon. The project was commissioned by WYG with the aim of establishing the presence, or otherwise and nature of detectable archaeological features on the site ahead of proposed development. The site comprises several grassed areas divided by a track and several tree-lined boundaries, approximately 5km ENE of the centre of Exeter. A total of 0.73ha were surveyed of a possible 2.16ha with some area lost to boundaries and other surface obstructions. The site lies on a fairly steep north-west-facing slope located south of a tributary of the River Clyst. The survey has demonstrated the presence of a few small anomalies of possible archaeological interest within the survey area, along with numerous ferrous anomalies. The majority of detected anomalies appear to relate to modern and agricultural activity with dense concentrations of ferrous material and ploughing scars observed. The only anomalies of possible interest are a few small positive anomalies that may represent pits or postholes; it should be noted a geological explanation for their formation is also possible. The geophysical survey was undertaken on 21st October 2014. |
