Full description

Smart, C., 2017, Higher Corrie Farm, Dalwood, East Devon: Geophysical Survey (Report - Geophysical Survey). SDV361121.

This report presents the results of geophysical survey (magnetometer) of land at Higher Corrie Farm, Dalwood, East Devon. The site comprises an irregular-shaped field northwest of the main farm complex. The purpose of the survey was to define the extent, nature and significance of any sub-surface archaeological remains whether corresponding to the recognised earthworks or not. The possibility of the site being once occupied by a Roman camp would have provided significant new evidence for the character of military movement through the south west of Britain in the middle decades of the first century AD. Unfortunately, there is little within the results of the survey to support this suggestion.

There is, on the southeast edge of the survey area, a positive area anomaly, which might represent a hollow or large pit (D). Nearby it was clear that other depressions had been recently filled in with stone and concrete rubble, and this accounts for the diffuse anomalies.
