Abstract: |
Geophysical survey was conducted at Bromborough Courthouse in the spring of 2016, followed by the excavation of four test pits in an area unsuitable for non-invasive survey. Evidence of human occupation was recovered during the excavation, medieval in date. The geophysical survey indicated anthropogenic activity, providing targets for future excavation. |

Note: |
Magnitude Surveys was commissioned to assess the archaeological landscape of a c. 1 ha area of land at Bromborough Court House, Bromborough, Merseyside. A full coverage combined cart-based fluxgate gradiometer and earth resistance survey was successfully completed. A number of anomalies with an undetermined, but potential archaeological origin have been identified. While these anomalies exhibit the potential to be archaeological in origin, due to the limited extent and context of the survey area, a specific archaeological origin for these anomalies cannot be confidently attributed. However, it is likely excavation work will confirm specific archaeological origins for some of these anomalies.
