Abstract: |
The purpose of this preliminary geophysical survey was to test the suitability of land adjacent to Mountsorrel Quarry for further investigation by means of magnetometer surveying. This trial survey has responded clearly to various subsurface features, but has not necessarily detected any findings of conclusive archaeological significance. The clay soil shows signs of waterlogging, and both areas appear to contain complex systems of land drains. These results suggest that a more extensive survey of these fields would produce a comprehensive picture of subsurface features and activity, but that archaeological findings (if present) would not necessarily respond as strongly as more recent disturbances. |
