Abstract:		 A settlement at Monkleigh had been in existence since at least the late Saxon period and, based on documentary evidence, it was likely that the site of Barton Farm had been occupied since the middle ages. The complex was probably the demesne farm of the manor. There was no evidence to suggest that the adjoining churchyard ever extended beyond its existing boundaries. The geophysical survey identified a number of anomalies that may have represented buried evidence for archaeological activity. Potentially the most significant of these was the possible curvilinear feature, which may have represented infilled ring ditch of a now ploughed-out Bronze Age barrow. Within its interior there was a possible pit that may have contained human remains, as well as accompanying grave furnishings. The geophysics report (Appendix 2) described these as "weak anomalies", but their presence or absence would need to be established as part of either a programme of archaeological works as a condition of planning consent, or as part of the determination process to allow a more informed decision to be made on the potential impact of development on archaeological deposits.
