Digital Data from a Geophysical Survey at Little Hollacombe, Welcombe, Devon 2016

This collection comprises digital photographs, geophysics data and geo-referenced images from a geophysical survey by South West Archaeology Ltd on land at Little Hollacombe, Welcombe, Devon. The survey was carried out in December 2016 to inform potential future development.
The geophysical survey indicated the presence of a series of removed post medieval and modern boundaries that are associated with recent horse paddocks across the site. There were also frequent drainage ditches and possible land drains across the site that are associated with the enclosure of the land from the 19th century onward. The geophysical survey also indicated potential prehistoric activity in the form of an oval anomaly, a ring ditch, and discrete anomalies. The south-western quarter of the site had been completely truncated by the recent barn development and was not surveyed. The south-eastern quarter of the site had been disturbed by earthmoving that was associated with the barn development.

本数据集包含由西南考古有限公司（South West Archaeology Ltd）在英国德文郡（Devon）韦尔科姆（Welcombe）的小霍拉科姆（Little Hollacombe）地块开展地球物理勘探所获取的数码照片、地球物理数据及地理参考影像。本次勘探于2016年12月实施，旨在为未来潜在开发项目提供参考依据。地球物理勘探结果显示，场地内存在一系列已被移除的中世纪后期及近现代边界遗迹，这些遗迹与场地内近期设置的马场围场相关。场地内还分布有大量排水沟渠及疑似农田排水渠，这些设施与19世纪以来的土地围垦活动相关。本次地球物理勘探还发现了潜在的史前活动遗迹，表现为一处椭圆形物探异常、一处环形壕沟遗迹以及多处离散物探异常。场地西南象限因近期谷仓开发项目已被完全平整，未参与本次勘探；场地东南象限则因与谷仓开发相关的土方作业受到了扰动。
