Abstract: |
A detailed gradiometer survey was conducted over land southeast of North Tawton close to Crooke Burnell Farm, Devon. The project was commissioned by AMEC on behalf of RES with the aim of establishing the presence, or otherwise, and nature of detectable archaeological features on the site ahead of the proposed development of a wind farm. The site comprises a number of pasture and arable fields some 15.5km west of Crediton. The site stretches across two small valleys with the land undulating gently across the full length of the site. The gradiometer survey covered 12.3ha and has demonstrated the presence of anomalies of definite, probable and possible archaeological interest within the survey area, along with regions of increased magnetic response and linear trends. The densest concentration of archaeological remains lies in the centre and to a lesser degree in the southern region of the site although this is at least partly due to the strong geology further north obscuring potential archaeological features there. Numerous linear and pit-like anomalies of probable and possible archaeological interest have been identified. It is possible that some of these anomalies will be associated with agricultural activity and near-surface geology. One possible ring ditch has been identified which is considered to be of definite archaeological interest. |
