Full description
Litchensteign, L. + Rainbird, P., 2017, Land off Burwood Lane, Caddywell Lane, Great Torrington, Devon: Evaluation (Report - Evaluation). SDV360843.

Donaldson, K. + Sabin, D., 2017, Land off Burwood Lane, Caddywell Lane, Great Torrington: Magnetometer Survey (Report - Geophysical Survey). SDV360804.
A geophysical survey, comprising detailed magnetometry, was carried out within three fields at Great Torrington, Devon, by Archaeological Surveys Ltd.
Site A
Within the centre of the survey area, centred on a field boundary is a narrow zone of magnetic debris. Although this may be modern in origin, the position centred on the former field boundaries may indicate that it is associated. This type of response often indicates dumped ferrous and magnetically thermoremnant material, such as brick or tile.
