Full description

Bunn, D., 09/2013, Proposed Solar Farm, Winham Farm, Cullompton (Report - Geophysical Survey). SDV352258.

A fluxgate gradiometer survey was undertaken on land at Winham Farm, Cullompton, Devon
(centred at ST 01642 03667). The site is proposed as a solar farm.

The survey has identified anomalies indicative of ditches and pits in both survey areas (Fields 1 & 2). These were detected in the mid and southern parts of the site, some on the alignment of pre-recorded cropmark ditches in Field 1. Indeed, the survey recorded magnetic traces of a cropmark ring ditch and at least one other suspected archaeological linear cropmark. Further, hitherto unrecorded, ditches were detected, including the boundaries of a possible rectilinear enclosure. These anomalies appear to pre-date the post-medieval pattern of field boundaries of the site and its area.

Area 2
Probable traces of a large quarry (highlighted as yellow), the northern extent of which is recorded
on the 1880s-90s Ordnance Survey map.
