Full description

Dean, R., 2010, Land at Dartmouth Devon: Archaeological Gradiometer Survey (Report - Geophysical Survey). SDV356992.

An archaeological gradiometer survey was completed across approximately 21 hectares. A total of 139 groups of anomalies pertaining to potential archaeological deposits and structures were identified, and 14 recommendations have been made for further archaeological investigations of the potential archaeology.

The linear anomaly groups recorded as ‘likely’ (anomaly groups 6, 7, 27, 32, 61 and 62) represent field boundaries removed in the twentieth century after 1938 . These boundaries are all visible on the Stoke Fleming Tithe map.

Numerous anomaly groups were recorded across the area. The majority of these potential archaeological features are linear and multilinear. They are suggestive of more than one phase of enclosure and do not conform with the directional trends of extant or recently removed field boundaries.
