Full description

Sabin, D. + Donaldson, K., 2007, East of Exeter Major Scheme Bid M5 Junction 29 and Old A30, Exeter, Devon: Geophysical Survey, 2, 8 (Report - Geophysical Survey). SDV345286.

A magnetometer survey was carried out along the proposed route of a new road to the east of Junction 29 of the M5. The western part of the site crosses agricultural pasture that contains a number of mature tree specimens relating to its former function as parkland associated with Redhayes, a large Edwardian villa, the dilapidated ruins of which lie within the northern part of the field. The eastern side of the field is bounded by iron fencing separating the field from a disused lane that at one time linked Redhayes Lodge to the south with the villa. Parallel positive and negative linear anomalies were located close to the southern end of the survey. It is possible that they represent a former land boundary formed by a central bank with flanking ditches. Other details: Figures 2, 3, 5, 7.
