Full description

Dean, R., 2017, Bowl barrow 260 metres northwest of Putson Cross, Tiverton, Devon: Geophysical Survey (Report - Geophysical Survey). SDV360617.

This survey work comprise part of a larger survey completed by AC Archaeology Ltd at the above
site and documented in a report. A total of six magnetic anomaly groups and six resistance anomaly groups were mapped as representing potential archaeological deposits and features.

A number of data trends were recorded in both the magnetometer and resistance data. It is likely that one group reflects relatively recent ploughing whereas another group may relate to historical ridge-and-furrow cultivation.
