Foster, K. + Skinner, R., 01/2016, A30 to A303 Honiton to Devonshire Inn Improvement Scheme, Honiton, Devon (Report - Assessment). SDV359378.

DBA undertaken along a corridor associated with the A30/A303 between Honiton and Devonshire Inn. This study is intended to inform the development of options for improvements to the A30/A303 between Honiton and Devonshire Inn.

The walkover survey recorded numerous extraction pits as well as areas of irregular earthworks (Figures 7-9). Most of these remains are likely to be the result of later extractive industries however it is possible that some may represent remains of ironworking activity possibly dating from the Roman period.
