Brunning, E. + Freeman, J., 2023, Higher Hawkerland Farm, Aylesbeare, East Devon: Geophysical Survey (Report - Geophysical Survey). SDV365870.
Archaeological Services ASWYAS has been commissioned by Pegasus Group on behalf of Spring Che Limited to undertake a geophysical survey at land at Higher Hawkerland Farm,Aylesbeare, Devon.
The geophysical survey has detected a number of magnetic anomalies associated with postmedieval agricultural practices, including former field boundaries, modern ploughing regimes and possible ridge and furrow cultivation or field drains. Overall, the archaeological potential of the Site is deemed to be low.
One of the anomaly groups represent a former pond, depicted on the circa 1840 tithe map. The pond remains in place on mapping as late as 1972 but has been removed prior to the earliest available satellite imagery dated 2002 (Google Earth 2023). The pond appears filled in by the 1940s.
