Abstract:		 This report was commissioned by Mills Whipp Projects Ltd on behalf of Friends Life Ltd in order to help establish the cultural heritage and archaeological implications of a proposal for a construction project at the above site. The magnetic contrast was sufficient to differentiate sixty-one anomaly groups representing potential archaeologically significant deposits or features. Of these, the majority have linear and occasional curvilinear patterns that typically represent former land division and agricultural practices. There is a clear concentration of such anomalies on the western side of the application area adjacent to an area of Medieval strip fields recorded in the Devon County Council Historical Environment Record (MDV73524). The majority of these anomalies are assessed as being of likely Medieval and Post-Medieval origin although there is a fragmented scattering of anomaly groups that may belong to earlier phases of land management. The distribution of archaeologically significant anomaly groups approximately follows the division of superficial geological deposits across the site and is likely to reflect associated differences in past agricultural practice although the influence of the depth of superficial deposits on the detection of magnetic anomalies is unknown.
