Abstract: |
This report presents the results of a geophysical survey that was carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) for a residential development at Land off Pengilly Way, Hartland, Torridge, Devon. The geophysical survey identified 11 groups of anomalies. These were predominantly linear anomalies that are likely to be associated with phases of historic boundaries, pits, tree throws, and Modern services. Some 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 majority of the identified features relate to undated phases of field system that are likely to be Post Medieval in date. That being said, some features clearly belong to a different phase of field system that could potentially be Prehistoric or Romano-British in date. Any development of the site is likely to encounter and to destroy the buried archaeological resource, and based on the archaeological potential of the site that is suggested by the surrounding Prehistoric and Medieval landscape it is suggested that further archaeological mitigation is carried out in the form of limited targeted evaluation trenching to validate and to clarify the results of the geophysical survey. |
