Full description
Dean, R., 2015, An Archaeological Gradiometer Survey: Land to the Northwest of Forches Cross, Newton Abbot, Devon (Report - Geophysical Survey). SDV358153.
This report was commissioned by SLR Consulting Ltd on behalf of Devon County Council Engineering Design Group as part of a forthcoming application. The magnetic contrast across the area was sufficient to be able to differentiate between anomalies representing possible archaeological features and background magnetic responses. Sixty-seven magnetic anomaly groups were identified as relating to possible archaeological deposits or features.
Two pits were identified by the survey. Group 75 sits within the enclosure, whereas Group 82 sits just outside the enclosure making it unclear as to whether they are related.
