Abstract:		 A detailed gradiometer survey was conducted over land at Great Cocktree Farm, North Tawton, Devon. The project was commissioned by ADAS with the aim of establishing the presence, or otherwise, and nature of detectable archaeological features on the site ahead of a proposed development. The site lies within two pasture fields approximately 2.25km to the south of centre of North Tawton. The site occupies the westward facing slope of a gently undulating area. The gradiometer survey covered 6ha and has demonstrated the presence of anomalies of definite, probable and possible archaeological interest within the Site, in addition to numerous trends and areas of increased magnetic response. The archaeological features found are likely to be ditches, although there original function is unclear but they could represent anything from drainage channels to ditches defining strip fields. Similarly the nature of the trends identified across the Site is unclear but it is suspected they are created as a result of agricultural activity. The wide spread of magnetic disturbance associated with the numerous small-scale ferrous anomalies and strong geology have reduced the area in which it is possible to detect archaeological features. It is possible that weak archaeological features could be obscured by these strong ferrous anomalies.
