Abstract:		 In November 2014 Wardell Armstrong Archaeology undertook a geophysical survey of land at Redhill Solar Farm, Holcombe Rogus, Devon. The survey was undertaken for Lightsource Renewable Energy Ltd, to provide information in relation to a proposed solar development at the site. The site is located to the northeast of Burlescombe and west of Holcombe Rogus in Devon. The proposed solar development lies within three fields to the north of Redhill Farm, immediately west of the A38. The site is centered on Ordnance Survey grid reference ST 0860 1808, and covers approximately 8.8ha of agricultural land in total. An Archaeology and Cultural Heritage Assessment had been undertaken of the site by Wardell Armstrong LLP. Although there are no recorded heritage assets within the proposed development area, it is recognised that there is the potential for as-yet unidentified archaeological remains to survive at the site. A Roman road is believed to run to the east of the site. The Devon Historic Environment Record also records evidence for Bronze Age, Iron Age and early medieval activity in the vicinity. Of particular significance is evidence for a late 1st millennium iron-working site to the south of the proposed development area. The geophysical surveys confirmed the presence of historic quarrying over parts of the proposed development area. Any potential archaeological features will therefore have been removed in these areas. A number of possible soil-filled features were detected to the north of Redhill Farm, including a possible road or track way of unknown date. The geophysical surveys therefore indicated there is some potential for archaeological remains to survive at the site, in the area not previously subjected to quarrying.
