Abstract: |
A geophysical survey was carried out at E Site, MOD Bicester at the request of Entec UK Ltd on behalf of Defence Estates. The site has been identified by Defence Estates for possible residential redevelopment. As the majority of the site has been disturbed by buildings and infrastructure associated with the Graven Hill Depot, three areas were identified by Entec for geophysical survey. Area A (Fields 1-4), on the western edge of the site, lies within 250m of the Scheduled Monument of Alchester Roman town, and comprised four pasture fields suitable for geophysical survey. Area B (Field 5), was also a pasture field, while Area C (Field 6) had been a former sports field. The aim of the survey was to identify if any potential archaeological remains were present within the survey areas, especially with regard to any features extending eastwards from Alchester. The detailed magnetometer survey located a number of positive linear anomalies within Field 1, closest to the archaeological remains associated with Alchester and its surrounding environs. These anomalies appear to relate to cut ditch-like features; however, it is not possible to determine if they are directly associated with any known archaeological remains. The remaining survey areas contained widespread magnetic debris and disturbance indicating the presence of buried strongly magnetic objects and material, as well as modern features such as services. With the exception of Field 1, no other anomalies of archaeological potential could be confidently identified although a number of anomalies of uncertain origin were located. |
