Full description

Dean, R., 2016, A New Electricity Cable for Denbrook Wind Farm, North Tawton, Devon: Gradiometer Survey (Report - Geophysical Survey). SDV361358.

This report was prepared for AC archaeology on behalf of Western Power Distribution. It presents the results of an archaeological magnetometer survey across a subsection of the route for a new buried cable between Week and Denbrook Wind Farm, North Tawton. Forty-four magnetic anomaly groups were mapped as representing possible archaeological features.

Group 9 are a spatially close group of anomalies representing a cluster of deposits. Their distribution demands that they be considered as potentially archaeologically significant; possibly pits and/or large postholes
