Abstract: |
A detailed gradiometer survey was conducted over land at Tithebarn Lane, Redhayes, Exeter, Devon (centred on SX 97600 93800).The surveyed area consisted of 33.6ha of arable fields located to the north and south of Tithebarn Lane,. In the northern area of the site, the geophysical data revealed a concentration of several circular and linear anomalies, interpreted as ditches and enclosures and a number of probable pits mostly concentrated spatially around the ditches and enclosures. They indicate the likely presence of more than one phase of settlement of unknown date but archaeological evidence from previous evaluations and geophysical survey on land within the overall survey area and to the east and south of the site suggests origins across the prehistoric and medieval periods. In the southern area of the site further ditches and enclosures, including two ring ditches, were identified but at a lower concentration and overall much weaker in magnetic response. There were fewer pit type anomalies detected but several larger areas of increased magnetic response which could possibly be of archaeological potential if they constitute spreads of debris and refuse from former settlement activity. Within the central portion of the site, few pit-like features are observed. Of the anomalies present, most are continuations of linear features seen in the north and the south, some extending across the site horizontally, interpreted as possibly being former field boundaries. Other features identified across the site include former field boundaries corresponding to in location and orientation to former field boundaries on historic mapping. |
