Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring and recording was undertaken by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) at the request of Lucy Bolton of Mosscliff Environmental (the Client) during groundworks associated with the construction of a single wind turbine and accompanying works on land at Swingdon Farm, Ashwater, Devon. The monitoring was carried out by P. Webb on the 30th June 2015 and S. Walls in October 2015. This work was undertaken in accordance with a Written Scheme of Investigation drawn up in consultation with Ann Marie Dick of the Devon County Historic Environment Team. The site lies in an area classified as medieval enclosures based on strip fields, and post-medieval enclosures on the Devon Historic Landscape Characterisation. Limited archaeological fieldwork has taken place in this area, though Swingdon Farm is located just off the summit of a broad hill, in close proximity to a dispersed group of ten Bronze Age barrows. Walkover and geophysical surveys (Richardson 2013) carried out at Swingdon Farm by SWARCH in 2013, along the route of the previous proposed cable route, failed to identify any features of archaeological interest within the development footprint. |
