Abstract: |
South West Archaeology Ltd. was engaged by the Historic Environment Officer of the Exmoor Mire Project to undertake a non-intrusive walkover survey of the proposed mire restoration area on Spooners, Exmoor. The results of this walkover survey will help to mitigate the threats that the proposed drainage-ditch blocking may pose to the historic environment. The survey also aimed to identify archaeological features which might require further mitigation work prior to the blocking of drainage ditches. In total, 40 features were recorded during this walkover survey. This included: mineral extraction works, holloways, field boundaries, cairns, cists, mounds, stone settings and individual stones. A number of these were unknown prior to this survey and several are deserving of further recording prior to any ditch blocking activity. |
