Full description
Dean, R. + Edwards, M., 2018, Staverton hydroelectric cable, Dartington, Devon: Geophysical Survey (Report - Geophysical Survey). SDV361629.
This report presents the results of an archaeological geophysical survey at the site listed in Section 2 and shown in Figure 1, hereafter referred to as the ’Survey Area’. It was commissioned by AC Archaeology Limited, on behalf of the Totnes Renewable Energy Society (TRESOC), to provide information in support of a forthcoming planning application for a proposed hydroelectric cable route installation. Twenty-nine magnetic anomaly groups have been characterised as representing potential buried archaeology. One group may represent a ditched track in the vicinity of the prehistoric trackway known as Goatpath which fords the river Dart at Staverton Ford Island to the north of this anomaly group.
Anomaly group 1 (Plot 1, Figure 3) represents a pair of parallel linear deposits and may represent a ditched track. The prehistoric trackway known as Goatpath passes east of Staverton parish church and fords the river Dart at Staverton Ford Island, to the north of this anomaly group (HER MDV16729). Whilst not heading towards the ford, if the anomaly group does represent a track then there is a possibility that it has archaeological significance in the context of the Goatpath.
