Full description

Barber, A., 2013, Old Park Farm, Pinhoe, Devon: Archaeological Evaluation (Report - Evaluation). SDV356280.

Post-medieval - modern land drains were identified within a number of trenches, and included examples which correlated well in terms of position and orientation with geophysical survey anomalies. Where field drains were handexcavated on site it was apparent that some ceramic pipes lay at depths of 0.8m or more below the level of the natural substrate, and although likely to produce a strong geophysical response they would not necessarily be visible during excavation works due to the similarity of their redeposited clay fills to the natural clay substrate.
