Abstract:		 A geophysical (magnetometer) survey, was undertaken on approximately 55 hectares of land located to the east of Westcott, Barnstaple, Devon. Archaeological responses have been detected predominantly in the northwest of the survey area. Most notably a rectilinear enclosures. Responses that have been interpreted as possible archaeology have also been detected in the northeast of the survey area. Agricultural trends can be seen throughout the survey area in the form of ploughing, field drains and former field boundaries. Heightened magnetic responses across the central portion of the survey area suggest disturbance to the geology resulting from the 20th century woodland clearance. Across the site ferrous anomalies have been identified. Therefore, based on the results and interpretation of the data, the archaeological potential lies predominantly in the northwest of the survey area, but low across the remainder of the site.
