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. Of these, one group represents a western extension of an extant, scheduled medieval woodbank (Historic Environment Record (HER) MDV76130, Scheduled Monument 1020553).

Groups 24 to 26 (Plot 5, Figure 7), if archaeologically associated with each other, are not typical of agrarian field and enclosure boundaries and may represent an archaeological feature.
