South West Archaeology Ltd is an archaeological consultancy. It offers a broad range of archaeological services that help clients meet their planning needs, and for each service it co-ordinates and compiles the necessary reports to satisfy the requirements of planning conditions. The company has presented the results of hundreds of projects ranging from simple Historic Environment Record (HER) entries up to full-scale excavation reports. Its vision is to foster and build upon the excellent reputation of South West Archaeology Ltd with existing clients while promoting new business, and it is committed to developing South West Archaeology Ltd into the best archaeological consultancy in South West England. Among its services, desk-based assessments are generally required as the first stage in any archaeological works relating to development; such an assessment is a study of all existing information concerning the archaeology of a site or building, including maps, documents, photographs and previous studies, and generally involves a site visit while avoiding intrusive methods at that stage. Historic building surveys are also offered, as alterations to historic buildings often result in requirements for recording as part of the planning process.
