Full description

Dean, R., 2017, Land West of Exminster, Devon (Report - Geophysical Survey). SDV360136.

This report presents the results of an archaeological magnetometer survey at the above site, hereafter referred to as the survey area. It has been prepared for AC Archaeology Ltd on behalf of clients. The survey area location is shown in Figure 1. Twenty-one magnetic anomaly groups were mapped as representing potential archaeological deposits or features.

There are a number of broad, curvilinear anomaly groups across the data set trending northnorth-west to south-south-east, northwest to southeast and north-north-east to south-westsouth (Figure 4). These represent palaeochannels. Only one section of these features is mapped in Figures 2 and 3 where the natural deposit lies alongside a likely ring ditch discussed below.
