Abstract:
This survey was commissioned by the Devon County Council Environment Group to investigate earthworks located within the playing fields of Blundell's School and recorded in Devon County Council Historic Environment Record entry MDV108465. The earthworks are visible as a banked feature on aerial photographs taken during and after 1946 and on digital images derived from LiDAR data captured between 2005 and 2012. A site visit carried out during December 2014 confirmed their presence and extent. The survey was designed to prospect the earthworks to contribute to the understanding of the monument and to inform its future management. Six magnetic anomaly groups and eight earth resistance anomaly groups were identified as possibly representing archaeological deposits or features. Four of these are disrupted curvilinear groups which coincide with the inner edge of the visible bank. It is likely that these anomalies represent a former inner ditch and an outer stony bank. A further curvilinear resistance anomaly group may also reflect deposits or a structure associated with the earthwork bank. Two, and possibly four, anomaly groups may represent a curvilinear archaeological feature, possibly a ditch, on the southern edge of the mapped earthworks but not conforming to their extant shape. One resistance anomaly coincides with a visible ditch associated with an extant field boundary of possible Mediaeval origins. The remaining anomalies may represent archaeological deposits but may well reflect recent ground disturbance.
