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 5 is a spread of disturbed ground containing ferrous debris and possible thermoremnant debris located within a turn in the leat. Its location may indicate its association with a demolished structure of a possible mill building or of a fording/bridging point. It may equally be rubble used to create a raised bank to the leat.
