Abstract:		 This report was commissioned by the Dartmoor National Park Authority. The survey was designed to prospect the recently recorded Early Bronze Age stone circle and contribute to the understanding of the site and to inform its future management as specified in Section 2 below. Both the magnetic and earth resistance responses were sufficient to be able to differentiate anomalies representing possible archaeological features. Twelve magnetic anomaly groups and ten earth resistance anomaly groups were identified as possibly representing archaeological deposits or features. The magnetic anomaly patterns indicate that a linear feature, or possibly an interlinked set of pits, trending northeast-southwest glances the south-eastern edge of Sittaford stone circle. There is also some evidence to support the view that the gap at that point in the circle may have had stones present in the past. The resistance data seems to indicate the presence of a linear feature trending west-north-west to east-south-east through north-eastern side of the stone circle although further archaeological investigations would be necessary to determine whether this feature was of natural or archaeological origin. The resistance data also shows what could be a curvilinear sequence of earthen deposits and stony deposits on the south and west of the stone circle and mirroring the circles curvature. Anomalies possibly representing a pit and a stone or stony deposit were identified on the western side of the circle.
