Full description

Bunn, D., 2016, Land to the North and West of Cullompton: Geophysical Survey (Report - Geophysical Survey). SDV360272.

A gradiometer survey was undertaken on land to the north and west of Cullompton. The survey identified a number of potential archaeological remains, including possible traces of ring ditches, an enclosure and widespread linear anomalies to the west of St Andrew's Hill.

The majority of linear trends in the northern part of the survey area (Areas 1 & 3) are of likely natural origin, such as palaeochannels - broadly defined by dotted green lines against an otherwise more uniform backdrop of natural variation (greenscale).
