Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Solar Power Generation Limited to undertake a detailed gradiometer survey over land at Great Curham Farm in Ash Thomas, near Tiverton, Devon, ahead of a proposed development. The site comprises arable fields to the northeast of Ash Thomas lying within a low valley, sloping gently downwards from west to east, and was under cultivation at the time of survey. The gradiometer survey was conducted using a Bartington Grad 601-2 dual fluxgate gradiometer system and has demonstrated the presence of anomalies of definite, probable and possible archaeological interest within the survey area, along with regions of increased magnetic response and a modern service. Three sub-rectangular enclosures were identified within the dataset at the western, central and south-eastern extents of the survey area, which are of archaeological interest. Of the three, only the westernmost had been previously identified through aerial photography. Several other linear and rectilinear anomalies elsewhere within the data may relate to elements of further enclosures or other archaeological activity. A cluster of pit-like anomalies is also of probable archaeological interest, although the origins of these pits are unclear and they may be more modern in provenance. An extensive former field system has been identified through the presence of former field boundaries, and is likely to correspond with the medieval field system, parts of which had been identified previously through extant earthworks. Ploughing trends associated with the former field system and later agricultural activity can be seen throughout the dataset.
