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 western extents of a ring ditch (E) were detected in the central part of Area 9, with a probable linear ditch extending NNW-SSE from its southern edge. Further ditches were recorded within the mid northern and southern parts of this field. Those in the south-east corner of the field possibly signify ditches flanking a former track.
