Archaeological investigations along the Choakford to Langage gas pipeline corridor partially exposed a number of prehistoric occupation areas, representing prehistoric settlement of different periods. Pottery and lithic artefacts from the late Neolithic to the Romano-British periods were recovered. [See Source SDV348009] A number of partially exposed prehistoric occupation areas were recognised along the pipline. In the north-west extent of the route, an enclosed settlement and associated features of mid- to late Bronze Age date were excavated. In the south-eastern area a similar settlement enclosure of middle to late Iron Age date, with the possible remains of a later Romano-British structure were exposed and investigated. A range of pottery and lithic artefacts from the late Neolithic through to the Romano-British period were recovered which illustrate the length of occupation of the area.
