Abstract: |
This report presents the results of a geophysical survey that was carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) for a solar development at Land at Yeo Valley, Cannington, Sedgemoor, Somerset. The geophysical survey identified nine groups of anomalies. The identified groups of anomalies include: undated ditches that are associated with a former field boundary or water management that is associated with the former mill to the south of the site; a ditch and possible land drains that are associated with either a relict Post Medieval field system and field boundaries and/or the extant field system and road system; a series of linear anomalies that are associated with probable land drains; a spread that is associated with a probable Modern feature; eleven possible pits or tree throws; and an area of mixed responses including possible concentric ring ditches and material deposits that are indicative of either Prehistoric or later monuments or Post Medieval to Modern ground disturbance. It is probable that the majority of the potential archaeological anomalies on the site are Medieval or later in date, however it is not possible to date the anomalies from the geophysical survey alone. The potential for Prehistoric, Late Iron Age, and Romano-British activity on the site therefore remains. Any buried archaeological resource that exists on the site will have been truncated to some degree by agricultural activity. |
