Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Heritage Developments South West Limited to undertake a detailed gradiometer survey of land adjacent to Exeter Road, near Topsham, Exeter (centred on NGR SX 95850 88940). The aim of the work was to establish the presence, or otherwise, and nature of detectable archaeological features on the site as part of a programme of archaeological works ahead of a proposed development. The survey was undertaken on 26th March 2014 and the site is located approximately 5.1km southeast of the centre of Exeter and 1km northwest of the centre of Topsham. The site comprises one pasture field located on the southwest side of Exeter Road close to the M5. Detailed gradiometer survey was undertaken over all accessible parts of the site, a total of 0.67ha, and has demonstrated the presence of anomalies of likely, probable and possible archaeological significance along with regions of increased magnetic response and at least one modern service. As the survey are is fairly narrow it is unclear whether the archaeological features detected are indicative of concentrated settlement activity or are agricultural in function. Given the volume of known prehistoric, Roman and medieval activity in close proximity to the site it is likely that the anomalies detected relate to at least one of these phases.
