Geophysical survey in advance of development within Exeter Airport has corroborated the presence of a circular anomaly also noted from cropmark evidence. The date and origin of this circular feature is unknown, however it is possible that, as with other areas in the study corridor, the feature may represent evidence of prehistoric activity. Other details: Appendix 1, site 82; figure 3.
