Abstract: |
The results of a geophysical survey carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) on land at The Tallet Barn, Heathfield, Thorverton, Devon, as part of the planning submission for the erection of a barn and stables buildings. The site comprises a single field located to the north and east of The Tallet Barn, Heathfield; to the south-west of Thorverton, an area rich in prehistoric activity. The survey identified 6 groups of anomalies. These were a mix of linear anomalies likely associated with phases of historic boundaries and agricultural activity, but including modern disturbance/services. The identified anomaly groups include: historic field boundaries; ditch features; agricultural activity; and modern services. Evidence of ploughing and metallic debris and ground disturbance was also identified. The results of the geophysical survey would suggest that the archaeological potential of the site is low, the geophysical survey only identifying a small number of features associated with historic field boundaries and modern disturbance/services. Further archaeological mitigation is not thought to be particularly worthwhile in this instance givent the limited extent of the development area within the site and the low potential of the geophysics results. |
