Full description

Dean, R. + Edwards, M., 2018, Land at Battens Farm and Watton Farm, Halburton, Devon: An Archaeological Magnetometer Survey (Report - Geophysical Survey). SDV361922.

This report presents the results of an archaeological geophysical survey at the site listed below, hereafter referred to as the Site. It has been prepared for the Tiverton Archaeology Group and 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. This phase was funded by the Tiverton Archaeology Group with assistance from the Devon County Council Environment Group. Eighty-one magnetic anomaly groups were mapped as representing potential buried
archaeology.

Anomaly groups 4, 12, 13 and 27 are well defined anomalies that could represent archaeological deposits such as filled pits although natural origins cannot be ruled out.
