Full description
Edwards, M. + Trick, S., 2021, Land West of Chard Road, Axminster: an archaeological magnetometer survey (Report - Survey). SDV365421.
A small circular feature, Anomaly Group 30, recorded during a geophsical survey is tentatively interpreted as a section of a ring ditch. However, the area was allotments in the mid 20th century and it may, therefore, be disturbed ground. The geophysical survey 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.
