Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Welbeck Strategic Land LLP to undertake a detailed gradiometer survey over land at Yelland Farm, in Yelland, Devon, with the aim of establishing the presence, or otherwise, and nature of detectable archaeological features on the site ahead of a housing development project. The site comprises of pastures directly to the north of B3233 Yelland Road, 1.5km to the south of the river Taw, and 2km to the west of Fremington, Devon. The proposed scheme covers 6.3ha and gradiometer survey was undertaken over all accessible parts of the site, a total of 5.7ha. The site occupies largely flat land, which lies at around 10m above Ordnance Datum (aOD). The gradiometer survey has demonstrated the presence of anomalies of possible archaeological interest within the survey area, along with regions of increased magnetic response, ploughing and other trends. Responses consistent with a former field boundary have been identified extending NE-SW across the centre of the survey area, largely characterised by weak linear trends. Historic mapping indicates the presence of such a boundary in a similar location at the southwestern extent of the Site. Two parallel anomalies of possible archaeological interest are visible extending NNW-SSE near the centre of the Site and are consistent with a former track or closely spaced field boundaries. Two further linear anomalies near the eastern extent of the dataset are typical of ditches and are likely to relate to agricultural activity. Several pit-like anomalies can be seen near the southwestern extent of the survey, although it is possible that these are natural or agricultural in origin.
