Summary
Groups of linear and curvilinear anomalies were recorded by geophysical survey thought to represent small enclosure boundaries and fragments of field boundaries. There is a possibility that some of the anomalies may represent building footings.

Full description
Dean, R. + Edwards, M., 2018, Land at Battens Farm and Watton Farm, Halburton, Devon: An Archaeological Magnetometer Survey (Report - Geophysical Survey). SDV361922.
Report presenting the results of an archaeological geophysical survey at the site. It is the third phase of a survey designed to further a research project undertaken by the Tiverton Archaeology Group in the area and, in particular, to follow up the results of field walking surveys.
Eighty one magnetic anomaly groups were mapped as representing potential buried
archaeology.
A large number of the groups have characteristics typical of anomalies representing linear and curvilinear archaeological deposits. These are most likely to represent small enclosure boundaries and fragments of field boundaries although, given the presence of the possible industrial/craft related anomaly groups and the distribution of Roman tile, slate and tesserae recorded during field walking surveys undertaken by the Tiverton Archaeological Group, some may represent building footings (see MDV124258). Seven of the anomaly groups coincide with, and likely represent, field boundaries recorded on historic maps.
