Full description
Harrison, D., 2017, Land at Woolwell Plymouth: Geophysical Survey (Report - Geophysical Survey). SDV361600.
Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd undertook a geophysical (magnetometer) survey of a 148 hectare site at Woolwell, Plymouth as part of a baseline assessment of the heritage potential of the site. This information will help guide archaeological strategy in advance of a proposed residential development.
The survey has identified up to six isolated ring-ditches within the survey area. This ring ditch is between 8-10 metres in diameter. The origins of the ring-ditches are unclear and an archaeological origin, such as isolated barrows, cannot be dismissed.
