South West Archaeology primarily operates throughout the South West from our North Devon base of South Molton. The cornerstone of our practice is a dedicated and highly professional team, all of whom are skilled across a variety of archaeological and professional disciplines. We have a broad depth of experience in a range of archaeological techniques, including Archaeological and Heritage Impact Assessments, Geophysical Surveys, Historic Building Surveys, and Archaeological Excavations. We work in close partnership with a variety of companies and organisations including planners, architects and government bodies, in order to achieve the best possible results for our clients and the archaeological record.
South West Archaeology offers a broad range of archaeological services that will help you meet your planning needs. For each of the archaeological services that we provide, we co-ordinate and compile the necessary reports to satisfy the requirements of the planning authority. We have presented the results of hundreds of projects ranging from simple barn recording, all the way up to full-scale excavation reports of large prehistoric settlements.
Our Heritage Construction Skills project aims to support training and development of the skills needed to maintain the historic buildings and places of North Devon, where we live, work, learn and play. These buildings will go on for many years to come if we look after them well, with the right people, the right people, having the right skills, and using the right materials.
This website is a foundation for that work – helping to put the people, the skills, the materials and the old buildings together, for a better future for all.
