Place Barton Farm, Moreleigh, Devon, Magnetometer Survey Report (OASIS ID: archaeol20-206143)

Archaeological Surveys Ltd was commissioned by British Solar Renewables Ltd to undertake a magnetometer survey of an area of land at Place Barton Farm, Moreleigh in Devon. The survey was requested ahead of a proposed solar farm development. The results demonstrate the presence of several positive linear and curvilinear anomalies and a small number of negative linear anomalies, but no features of obvious archaeological origin could be identified. Generally, the anomalies were classified as uncertain in origin as although several of the positive linear anomalies may represent former ditch-like features, it is likely that the majority are associated with former agricultural activity and land drainage. The site also contains widespread variable and amorphous anomalies of natural origin.
