Abstract: |
The results of a geophysical survey and evaluation trenching carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) on land at Town Farm, High Bickington, Torridge, Devon. The geophysical survey identified five groups of probable or possible anomalies that relate to archaeological activity. The majority of the anomalies appear to relate to historic agricultural activity, although there was a single discrete feature of unknown archaeological origin or date. A series of three evaluation trenches were excavated to target these geophysical anomalies, validate the results of the geophysical survey and obtain further detail on form, date and state of preservation of any archaeological features. The evaluation encountered three linear archaeological features relating to field drainage and historic field boundaries and a stony variation in the natural. Based on the results of the geophysical survey and archaeological evaluation, further archaeological works on this site are unlikely to add significant additional detail to the archaeological record. |
