Abstract: |
This report presents the results of an archaeological magnetometer survey at the above site, hereafter referred to as the survey area. It has been prepared for AC Archaeology Ltd on behalf of clients. The magnetic responses across the survey area were sufficient to be able to differentiate between anomalies representing possible archaeological features and background magnetic responses. Thirty-five magnetic anomaly groups were mapped as representing possible archaeological deposits or features. Five of these groups represent former field boundaries recorded on historic maps. One represents a known subcircular enclosure that may be Iron Age or Romano-British. Nine anomaly groups may represent archaeological deposits within this enclosure. Two anomaly groups may represent pits outwith but close to the enclosure. Two adjacent, broad, linear groups are well defined in the data set and may have archaeological significance but cannot be further characterised. The remaining groups have characteristics that are suggestive of multiple phases of archaeological deposits, such as ditches or banks comprising sections of former field and enclosure boundaries, of unknown periods and predating the 1839 Crediton tithe map and possibly a map by John Norden produced in1598. |
