Full description
Dean, R., 2018, Clovelly Dykes hillfort southern extension, Clovelly, Devon: Magnetometer Survey (Report - Geophysical Survey). SDV360856.
This report presents the results of an archaeological magnetometer survey and, in the light of
this magnetometer survey, the re-interpretation of a resistance survey previously completed at
the above site. It has been prepared for NDAS as part of a research project assessing the
southern extension of the hillfort.
Magnetic anomaly group g11 has characteristics typical of an anomaly group representing a ring ditch. These are often the remains of a ploughed out round barrow, a round house or a World War II searchlight emplacement. Anomaly group g12 has similar characteristics although it is not so clearly defined as g11.
