Abstract:
The survey was requested by the local authority as part of research to advise a planning application decision for the conversion of a large disused concrete water tank into a self-contained semi-underground holiday unit (Section 4.3). The Survey Area covers the proposed route of an access track to the water tank. The differences in magnetic responses across the Survey Area were sufficient to be able to differentiate between anomalies representing possible buried archaeology and background magnetic responses. Three magnetic anomaly groups were characterised as reflecting potential buried archaeology. Of these, two may represent archaeological deposits associated with a ring ditch and a ring ditch within a curvilinear enclosure, both recorded in the Devon County Council Historic Environment as being situated just south of the Survey Area. One group represents a linear deposit which may be archaeological but no further classification was possible. The survey data included a strong magnetic response from an iron or steel service on the northern side of the survey area and the Survey Area was shortened on the western side to avoid strong magnetic responses from the reservoir. It is unlikely that any archaeology was missed as the areas masked by these strong responses were probably within the zone of ground disturbance during the building of the reservoir and the cutting of the service trench
