Abstract:		 An Archaeological Assessment carried out in advance of restoration work, as part of the Dartmoor Mires Project, at a site known for the purposes of the project as South Tavy Head in the parish of Dartmoor Forest. The purpose of this work is to assess the potential for archaeological features within the restoration area and vehicle access route and identify impacts that works relating to the restoration might have on the archaeological resources that survive in these areas. The report includes the results of a desk based assessment and walkover survey of the site and access route. Consultation of the Dartmoor Historic Environment Record (HER), Scheduled Monuments (SAM), English Heritage Surveys and historic mapping indicate that there are no known recorded monuments within the restoration site boundary. Examination of these sources combined with a walkover survey indicated that the access route to the site traverses the Lich Way and runs in proximity to a number of medieval industrial and prehistoric features. Given the preservative nature of peat there remains the potential for previously unrecorded archaeological features or artefacts to be uncovered within the peat during restoration work. This will be mitigated by the undertaking of a part-time archaeological watching brief.
