Abstract:		 An Archaeological Assessment was commissioned by the Dartmoor Mires Project in advance of blanket bog restoration work at Winney's Down Area 2 in the Forest of Dartmoor. The aim of this project was to assess the potential survival, nature and importance of archaeological features within the restoration area, along the access route and to identify potential impacts that restoration works might have on the archaeological resource. The assessment includes the results of a desk based assessment and walkover survey of the site and access route. Consultation of the Dartmoor Historic Environment Record (HER), Scheduled Monuments (SAM), English Heritage Surveys and historic mapping indicate that there are no known recorded monuments within the restoration site boundary. Examination of these sources combined with a walkover survey indicate that the access route to the site and the access route between Winney's Down Areas 1 and 2 traverse two historic features including Whitehorse Leat and a Peat Pass, respectively. Further analysis of aerial photography and LiDAR combined with the results of the walkover survey demonstrate that there is no above ground evidence for previously unrecorded archaeological features within the restoration site or along the access route to the site. Given the preservative nature of peat there remains the potential for previously unrecorded archaeological features or artefacts to be uncovered within the peat during restoration work. This will be mitigated by the undertaking of an archaeological watching brief by a suitably qualified archaeologist during restoration work.
