Full description

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

Geophysical survey undertaken by Substrata at a bowl barrow northwest of Putson Cross. Includes a magnetometer and resistance survey. The magnetic and resistance responses were sufficient to be able to differentiate anomalies representing possible archaeological features. A total of six magnetic anomaly groups and six resistance anomaly groups were mapped as representing potential archaeological deposits and features.

Magnetic anomaly group g1 and resistance anomaly group r1 have the same trend and lie adjacent to each other which implies that they represent the same deposit or structure. The groups may represent archaeological linear deposits, natural deposits or field drains with r1 more likely to have a relatively stony composition and g1 more earthen.
