Abstract: |
South West Archaeology Ltd. was commissioned to undertake a geophysical survey on land north of Wrigwell Lane, Ipplepen, Devon, to inform potential development decisions. The site is on the edge of a known Iron Age/Romano-British settlement with a track, well, roundhouse and unexcavated rectangular enclosure/structure in the field immediately east of the site, a high density of Iron Age features to the east and north-east and more sporadic examples of Iron Age features to the south-west. The geophysical survey showed a continuation of aspects of a probable Iron Age/Romano-British field system with potential discrete features, a possible track/drove-way and an undated spread/feature of magnetic debris of either metallic or thermoremanent origin. The middle of the site contained a probable rectilinear enclosure, accessed via a track along its west edge and containing at least one discrete anomaly near its south-east corner. If Archaeological these features probably date to the Iron Age/Romano-British period. This work has probably increased the ostensible extent of the Iron Age/Romano-British settlement at Dainton Elms. Any future development on this site would warrant a programme of further archaeological works, via excavation. |
