Full description

Bunn, D., July 2013, Archaeological Geophysical Survey. Proposed Solar Farm. Land at Capelands Farm, Bratton Fleming, Devon, 5, 7, Figs 8-11 (Report - Geophysical Survey). SDV352205.

Bands of relatively weak variation were recorded in Field 2 with one continuing east across Field 3 (9 and 10) towards the western end of the oval enclosure. These may be traces of former trackways. However, a natural origin such as palaeochannels should not be totally discounted.
