Full description

Hughes, S. + Valentin, J., 2010, Land Southwest of Exeter Development Masterplan Area. Archaeology and Cultural Heritage Assessment, Fieldwalking and Geophysical Survey, Table 2, Appendix 4 (Report - Assessment). SDV347868.

Targeted geophysical survey undertaken as part of an archaeological and cultural heritage assessment of land to the south-west of Exeter recorded two adjacent circular features (D1 and D2) in Plot 58. They appear collectively to depict a sub circular feature of about 28 metres diameter and it is possible, therefore, that they represent a ring ditch.
