Full description
Edwards, M. + Trick, S., 2021, Land West of Chard Road, Axminster: an archaeological magnetometer survey (Report - Survey). SDV365421.
A large semi-circular anomaly (Group 15) was recorded during a geophysical survey, which was carried out over three fields to the west of Chard Road on the north-east edge of Axminster in advance of a planning application. The anomaly, circa 30m diameter, is possibly part of a ring ditch. It was noted that Anomaly Group 17 looked to be at the centre of the feature and may, therefore, be related.
