Abstract: |
The area of South Devon between the coast and Dartmoor National Park is a landscape of high archaeological potential, demonstrated by the good visibility of archaeological cropmarks and survival of nationally significant earthworks. It faces demands from agriculture, industry, forestry and increasingly, development pressures. This report synthesises the results of an aerial investigation and mapping survey (formerly called National Mapping Programme [NMP]) for an area of 290.5 square kilometres from near Haldon Ridge in the east to the Dart Valley in the west, the easternmost of three survey areas proposed for the area between the South Devon coast and Dartmoor National Park. The survey assessed aerial photographs dating from the 1930s to 2018, supplied by the Historic England Archive and Devon County Council Historic Environment Record, as well as imagery derived from Environment Agency and Tellus lidar data, to identify, interpret, transcribe and record almost 1700 archaeological sites and landscapes dating potentially from the Neolithic period to the 20th century. The most significant themes to emerge from the survey relate to later-prehistoric field systems on the limestone plateaux south of Newton Abbot and medieval to post-medieval tin-mining in the Bovey Basin, between Newton Abbot and Bovey Tracey. |
