Abstract: |
Liss Archaeological Group were asked by The Friends of Corhampton Saxon Church and the Meon Valley Saxons Project to carry out a geophysical survey using both magnetometry and resistivity at Storey's Meadow, West Meon, Hampshire. The survey was carried out immediately north of a known Anglo-Saxon cemetery sited around a Bronze Age ring ditch. The cemetery and corresponding ring ditch had been excavated by Thames Valley Archaeological Services (TVAS) in 2011 prior to a housing development by Drew Smith Ltd over the lower (southerly) end of the field. A total of 49 Anglo-Saxon graves were excavated. In 2012 the site was designated a Scheduled Ancient Monument (SAM 1409204). The purpose of the survey was to try to identify if any archaeological features survived within the boundary of the Schedule so a decision could be made whether it should remain in place. A number of anomalies were identified by the resistivity survey: three small objects, possible graves, just outside the limit of the 2011 excavation and a faint linear feature, possibly an early boundary, running across the upper half of the field from south-east to north-west. The magnetometry result shows the same large square feature that appears within the TVAS magnetometry survey of the area in 2011. |
