Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Parsons Brinckerhoff to undertake a geophysical survey at land to the north-west of Alphington, near Exeter. The aim of the survey was to determine the presence/absence of any archaeological features that may be impacted upon by future development. Detailed gradiometer survey was carried out using a Bartington Grad601-2 dual sensor gradiometer system, across an area of approximately 3.2ha, highlighting a number of anomalies interpreted to be of an anthropogenic origin. Of these, a linear feature running on a north-west to south-east orientation appears to correlate well with cartographic and topographic evidence for the location of a former 19th century mill leat. Further anomalies identified may represent features associated with this leat and former field boundaries within the area. In addition, a number of modern services crossing the Site were recorded. |
