Archaeological trench evaluation and resistivity survey at Membury Court, Membury, East Devon

Abstract

This report has been prepared for Devon County Council and presents the results of an archaeological trench evaluation and targeted electrical resistance survey (resistivity) of land at Membury Court, Membury, East Devon (Figure 1; ST 26364 03803). The investigation was commissioned by Devon County Council and was carried out in accordance with a Brief issued by Cressida Whitton, Archaeologist, Devon County Council Historic Environment Service (DCCHES Ref. Arch/AE/ED/17777). The purpose of the trench evaluation and resistivity survey was to further characterise the form, nature and depth of any sub-surface archaeological remains indicated by a previous magnetometer survey (Smart 2010), in order to inform appropriate decision and management in response to proposed harrowing and re-seeding of the land.
