Abstract:
This report was commissioned by SLR Consulting Ltd on behalf of Devon County Council Engineering Design Group as part of a forthcoming application for outline planning permission. The development includes the widening of the A382 between Drum Bridge and Whitehill Cross and the construction of the Jetty Marsh Link road. The magnetic contrast across the area was sufficient to be able to differentiate between anomalies representing possible archaeological features and background magnetic responses. Thirty-eight magnetic anomaly groups were identified as relating to possible archaeological deposits or features. The majority are most likely to relate to former field boundaries and other enclosures. Of the other groups mapped, seven anomaly groups situated between Stover Park and Forches Cross lie north-east of a Prehistoric, double-ditched, rectangular enclosure recorded in the DCCHER. They are by far the most complex set of anomaly groups encountered during the survey and their proximity to the Prehistoric enclosure demands that they be treated as relating to potential archaeological deposits. A further group in the area may reflect a former ditches track or routeway. Two anomaly groups, situated between Forches Cross and Bowerelands, are grouped in clusters that may warrant further investigation. One group, situated between Bowerlands and Exeter Cross, is typical of magnetic responses relating to former ridge-and-furrow or terrace cultivation. Magnetic anomaly groups are relatively sparse across the Jetty Marsh area. The three groups that are clear are most likely to relate to former field drainage ditches.
