Railton, M., 2017, The Crown Estate, Land east of Axminster (Report - Geophysical Survey). SDV360141.

In January 2017 a geophysical survey was undertaken on land east of Axminster, Devon. The survey was undertaken for The Crown Estate, to provide information to support a planning application for a residential development.

Strong dipolar magnetic anomalies were detected at the northwest corner of Area 1, which are likely to represent rubble deposits associated with a former rectangular building and small enclosures [1]. These are depicted on the 25” 1880s Ordnance Survey map and are recorded in the Devon HER (MDV70579), but are now removed.
