Abstract: |
This report was commissioned by SLR Consulting Ltd on behalf of Devon County Council Engineering Design Group as part of a forthcoming application. The eastern edge of the survey (area 2.7) was subject to a separate survey (Dean, 2014) completed on behalf of Devon County Council Engineering Design Group and reproduced here with permission. The survey interpretation designations used in this report follow on from those in the earlier report for ease of data integration. The magnetic contrast across the area was sufficient to be able to differentiate between anomalies representing possible archaeological features and background magnetic responses. Sixty-seven magnetic anomaly groups were identified as relating to possible archaeological deposits or features. The majority are most likely to relate to more than one phase of former field boundaries and other enclosures. Three anomaly groups represent a Prehistoric double-ditched enclosure recorded in the Devon Historic Environment Record MDV9121. A further three groups within the enclosure may represent sub-circular features. There are a number of areas with enhanced magnetic responses that may reflect disrupted archaeological deposits although one of these may reflect natural spring deposits. Two potential ditched tracks or roads were also recorded. |
