Full description

Bampton, J. + Webb, P., 2016, Land at Birch Road, Landkey (Report - Survey). SDV360055.

This report presents the results of geophysical survey on land off Birch Road, Landkey, Devon, as part of the pre-planning documentation for a proposed housing development and associated landscaping. This forms the second phase of surveying on the site, building on an earlier desk-based and geophysical survey. The geophysical survey would indicate that there are relatively few features of archaeological origin present within the area of the proposed development.

Group 4 is a weak negative with associated positive linear anomaly indicative of a field boundary. It is still present as an earthwork bank and forms a boundary to the useable agricultural land not affected by flooding of the leat at the southern boundary of the site.
