Assessment of the Areas of Exceptional Archaeological and Historical Importance, Exmoor National Park Assessment of the Areas of Exceptional Archaeological and Historical Importance, Exmoor National Park Ralph Fyfe and Heather Adams School of Geography University of Plymouth Assessment of the Areas of Exceptional Archaeological and Historical Importance, Exmoor National Park Ralph Fyfe and Heather Adams School of Geography, University of Plymouth, Plymouth, PL4 8AA [email protected] tel: 01752 233129 Report prepared on behalf of Exmoor National Park Authority, November 2008 Executive summary This report presents the results of a review of the Areas of Exceptional Archaeological and Historical Importance (AEAHIs) drafted in 2004 as part of the Moorlands at a Crossroads survey undertaken for the Exmoor Society. It integrates palaeoecological research and potential into the designation of these areas and incorporates the results of survey and excavation on Exmoor since 2004. The report recommends the acceptance of thirty-seven AEAHIs which include landscapes that best represent the diversity of the archaeology of the moorlands. In addition it has developed a database of known palaeoecological sites and a separate database of high potential palaeoecological sites. A scheme for assessing the condition of these areas is proposed using forms suited to repeat volunteer survey. The approach assesses the individual significant elements that comprise each AEAHI, assigning each a condition score using an objective threat-led methodology. The individual scores are averaged to provide an indication of the state of the AEAHI.

As part of this, Exmoor National Park Authority has won a Landscape Partnership (the Exmoor Moorland Landscape Partnership) development funding grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund. Part of the development work within this HLF funded Landscape Partnership is to delimit Areas of Exceptional Archaeological and Historical Importance (AEAHIs), in particular building on an earlier model and incorporating palaeoenvironmental importance into the designation of areas. The earlier AEAHIs were a product of the Moorlands at a Crossroad report (Landuse Consultants, 2004) commissioned by the Exmoor Society to review the future of Exmoor. The designation of AEAHI is in recognition of the significance of the archaeology of Exmoor. The archaeology of the moorland is exceptionally well preserved, making the resource as a whole of national significance. Although approximately 10% of archaeological sites on Exmoor are designated as Scheduled Ancient Monuments (SAMs) and are thus offered statutory protection, this model of archaeological protection is focussed entirely on sites rather than sites in their landscape context. This context is what the designation of AEAHIs seeks to conserve, putting in place a structure which allows for preservation and monitoring of the most important parts of the archaeology of the moorland. The relict prehistoric landscapes are nationally and possibly internationally significant. They form a rare and very extensive survival of entire past landscape across the domestic, social, economic and spiritual spheres. These types of landscapes are practically non existent in southern England and are rare across the country as a whole. The upstanding remains of these prehistoric landscapes makes them accessible to the visitor in a way that the overwhelming majority of lowland, flattened sites in private ownership are not. The association of palaeoecological deposits is an integral part of the historic environment, preserving an environmental archive and the potential for tremendous preservation potential of sites within or underneath these deposits. Certain monument types (e.g. stone settings) are unique to Exmoor. The combined evidence for medieval farming and settlement across the moorland is at least of regional significance and in some instances national importance. The extent and preservation of remains is exceptional, in particular where settlements, field systems and palaeoenvironmental deposits exist in close spatial proximity. The evidence of post- medieval reclamation and exploitation of mineral resources is nationally significant in terms of economic and industrial history. The very character of the moorland in areas such as Larkbarrow and Tom’s Hill is a result of the process of enclosure and exploitation in the nineteenth century. 4 Fyfe and Adams (2008): Exmoor AEAHIs Figure 1: Definition of moorland on Exmoor, 2008. Numbers indicate the moorland unit as defined in Landuse Consultants (2004). 5 Fyfe and Adams (2008): Exmoor AEAHIs The moorland line on Exmoor that is used within this project is a refinement of that developed within in Landuse Consultants (2004). The report used a combination of the Section 3 moor and heath and Defra’s moorland line (defined as LFAs which are predominantly upland vegetation used for rough grazing). At the time of the study digital transcriptions of open access land under the CROW act was not available and thus was not included. Landuse Consultants divided the moorland area into 22 units grouped into five sets (coastal heath, northern heather moors, grass moors of the centre, southern heather moors and the Brendon heaths). The definition used here is a result of refinement of these moorland units by ENPA to incorporate recently enclosed moorland (Figure 1). This results in a total of 283 km2 of moorland, representing 40% of the total area of ENP. 2004 AEAHI designations and criteria for inclusion In 2004 Wilson-North and Riley prepared the first designations of AEAHIs as a contribution to the Moorland at a Crossroads report (Landuse Consultants 2004). Forty-eight AEAHIs were designated which were designed to reflect the most important elements of the archaeology of the moorland. The areas were designated against the following criteria: 1. Numbers. Areas which included an unusual number, or concentration, of a particular type of monument or monument group 2. Associations. Areas where monuments can be shown to be associated with other groups of monuments, especially spatially or (more unusually) temporally. 3. Completeness. Areas where the survival of archaeological features is such that a relict landscape of a particular period is preserved, in a largely undamaged form, in a discrete area.

Introduction SEVERAL LONG SEISMIC LINES in the Bristol Channel area, full details of which will be presented in later papers, give evidence of a basal layer of high velocity, in the range from 6. I-6. 3 km/s, which is interpreted as being of Lower Palaeozoic or Precambrian age. This layer, which almost certainly does not represent the same geological formation under all lines, lies at shallow depth under the western part of the South Wales Coalfield, deepens southwards into the northern part of the Bristol Channel and rises rapidly towards the north Devon coast. Figure I illustrates reduced time-distance curves for two of the long seismic lines D and F, whose locations are shown in Fig. 2. On each line, a series of offshore shots was fired into a fixed array of land recording stations.

    Landscape Character Assessment in the Blackdown Hills AONB Landscape character describes the qualities and features that make a place distinctive. It can represent an area larger than the AONB or focus on a very specific location. The Blackdown Hills AONB displays a variety of landscape character within a relatively small, distinct area. These local variations in character within the AONB’s landscape are articulated through the Devon-wide Landscape Character Assessment (LCA), which describes the variations in character between different areas and types of landscape in the county and covers the entire AONB. www.devon.gov.uk/planning/planning-policies/landscape/devons-landscape-character- assessment What information does the Devon LCA contain? Devon has been divided into unique geographical areas sharing similar character and recognisable at different scales: 7 National Character Areas, broadly similar areas of landscape defined at a national scale by Natural England and named to an area recognisable on a national scale, for example, ‘Blackdowns’ and ‘Dartmoor’. There are 159 National Character Areas (NCA) in England; except for a very small area in the far west which falls into the Devon Redlands NCA, the Blackdown Hills AONB is within Blackdowns NCA. Further details: www.gov.uk/government/publications/national-character-area-profiles-data-for-local- decision-making/national-character-area-profiles#ncas-in-south-west-england 68 Devon Character Areas, unique, geographically-specific areas of landscape. Each Devon Character Area has an individual identity, but most comprise several different Landscape Character Types. Devon Character Areas are called by a specific place name, for example, ‘Blackdown Hills Scarp’ and ‘Axe Valley’.

  • Somerset Geology-A Good Rock Guide
    SOMERSET GEOLOGY-A GOOD ROCK GUIDE Hugh Prudden The great unconformity figured by De la Beche WELCOME TO SOMERSET Welcome to green fields, wild flower meadows, farm cider, Cheddar cheese, picturesque villages, wild moorland, peat moors, a spectacular coastline, quiet country lanes…… To which we can add a wealth of geological features. The gorge and caves at Cheddar are well-known. Further east near Frome there are Silurian volcanics, Carboniferous Limestone outcrops, Variscan thrust tectonics, Permo-Triassic conglomerates, sediment-filled fissures, a classic unconformity, Jurassic clays and limestones, Cretaceous Greensand and Chalk topped with Tertiary remnants including sarsen stones-a veritable geological park! Elsewhere in Mendip are reminders of coal and lead mining both in the field and museums. Today the Mendips are a major source of aggregates. The Mesozoic formations curve in an arc through southwest and southeast Somerset creating vales and escarpments that define the landscape and clearly have influenced the patterns of soils, land use and settlement as at Porlock. The church building stones mark the outcrops. Wilder country can be found in the Quantocks, Brendon Hills and Exmoor which are underlain by rocks of Devonian age and within which lie sunken blocks (half-grabens) containing Permo-Triassic sediments. The coastline contains exposures of Devonian sediments and tectonics west of Minehead adjoining the classic exposures of Mesozoic sediments and structural features which extend eastward to the Parrett estuary. The predominance of wave energy from the west and the large tidal range of the Bristol Channel has resulted in rapid cliff erosion and longshore drift to the east where there is a full suite of accretionary landforms: sandy beaches, storm ridges, salt marsh, and sand dunes popular with summer visitors.
