Full description
Wessex Archaeology, 2015, Dawlish Warren Beach Management Scheme, Devon. Marine Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment and Geophysical Survey (Report - Survey). SDV359838.
An archaeological desk-based assessment and marine geophysical survey were undertaken to assess the potential for cultural heritage material within the area to be dredged as part of the Dawlish Beach Management Scheme. Thirty six geophysical anomalies of possible archaeological potential were identified, although none are interpreted as being of high archaeological importance. Nevertheless, the survey identified a number of magnetic anomalies which could indicate buried ferrous debris. It is also possible that not all features of archaeological potential were identified as the mobile seabed sediment could periodically bury and expose debris. The potential remains for dredging activities to impact on unknown archaeological features including sites related to seabed prehistory, shipwrecks an aircraft crash sites. See report for full details.
