Full description
Caine, C. + Passmore, A, Land at James House, Chudleigh (Report - Evaluation). SDV358456.
The geophysical anomaly was identified during the evaluation as an oval feature comprising an area of firm mid brown sandy loam and heat-affected clay and slag. The feature, thought to be a furnace was not excavated as it was only partly exposed but was photographed and recorded in plan. A charcoal sample was taken from the surface of the furnace and radiocarbon dated to the Late Iron Age.

This report was commissioned by AC Archaeology Ltd on behalf of clients and has been prepared in support of a forthcoming planning application.
Group 12 may represent a highly heated in-situ deposit that may result from cremations, hearths, kilns and furnaces. In this case the anomaly pattern is less clear and could alternatively be the result of a fortuitously orientated ferrous object.
