Abstract:		 The results of a heritage impact assessment and geophysical survey carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) for land adjacent to Thomas a Becket Church, Newton Tracey, Devon. The site is located at the western end of a field containing a possible Roman Fortlet or signal station noted on the Devon HER; in c.1840 the site of the proposed development fell within a plot of land known as the Burrows. The survey identified several geophysical anomalies of clear archaeological interest, principally the ditches of what is likely to be a multi-vallate Late Prehistoric enclosure rather than a Roman Fortlet. Relict historic field boundaries and a series of other, undiagnostic, anomalies were also identified. Most of the significant features are not located within the footprint of the proposed site, but the long access route track crosses several linear anomalies, including the Late Prehistoric enclosure ditch. On the basis of the geophysical survey, the archaeological potential of the site appears to be medium/high; the proposed development would have a negative/moderate impact. In terms of indirect impacts, most of the designated heritage assets within the wider area are located at such a distance or location to minimise the impact of the proposed development, or else the contribution of setting to overall significance is less important than other factors. The proposed development is unlikely to be particularly visible within the landscape as it is located behind the brow of the hill. However, there is likely to be an appreciable and cumulative impact upon the setting of the church of St Thomas a Becket (negative/minor to moderate), with it no longer being at the eastern limit of the settlement. With this in mind, the overall impact of the proposed development can be assessed as negative/moderate. The impact of the development on any buried archaeological resource would be permanent and irreversible.
