Abstract:		 This report presents the results of a desk-based assessment and walkover survey carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) on land at Ison Cottage, Wheddon Cross, Exton, Somerset, in advance of the proposed house extension and the construction of a garage with associated infrastructure. The proposed development is located within the grounds of Ison Cottage. The cartographic analysis indicates this area forms part of a wider landscape of mid-later 19th century mining activity but which has seen little other development. The cottage itself is 1960s in date, but is located on the site of the former mines office, linked to the abandoned mines north-east of the cottage by a raised causeway located opposite the drive. Those features and relationships would not be affected by the proposed extension. The quarry within which Ison Cottage is constructed was probably created in c.1854 when the mine was established, although it may have enlarged an existing (early 19th century) roadside quarry. The quarry may have truncated part of a post-medieval catch meadow, as a series of contour leats have been identified on aerial photographs crossing the field to the north of the site. Slight terraces noted during the walkover survey within the gardens of Ison Cottage could relate to these leats, but are most likely garden features from the 20th century. A section of these garden features would be lost during the proposed development.
