Full description

Dean, R., 15/07/2015, Westwood, Land adjoining Junction 27, M5, Devon, 7 (Report - Geophysical Survey). SDV359560.

This report was commissioned by Mills Whipp Projects Ltd on behalf of Friends Life Ltd in order to help establish the cultural heritage and archaeological implications of a proposal for a construction project.

Geophysical survey identified a sub-circular deposit which can be associated with archaeological features such as ring-ditches and round-houses. In this case, the anomaly groups are not clearly defining a sub-circular pattern and it may be that the disturbance of the sub-soils is of recent origin and may equally relate to ground disturbance around an animal feeder or other recent agricultural activities. Only further archaeological investigations can qualify these anomalies further.
