Abstract: |
This report was commissioned by AC Archaeology Ltd on behalf of clients and was designed to contribute to a report produced by AC Archaeology (Passmore, 2013). The magnetic contrast across the survey areas was sufficient to be able to differentiate between anomalies representing possible archaeological features and background magnetic responses. A total of 18 magnetic anomaly groups were identified as pertaining to potential archaeology. Four of the groups are spatially associated with recorded potential settlement sites. Three of these represent probable enclosure boundaries and one an area of enclosures and platforms. A long linear anomaly group may represent a ditched track or road running almost north-south across the main field in the survey area. This feature either respects or is cut by a palaeo-channel of the Medieval and earlier river of the river Siger. Two anomalies may represent large pits at the northern junction of the palaeo-channel and the possible ditched track or road. One set of five linear anomalies run along the northern edge of the palaeo-channel. The remaining anomaly groups are linear patterns of anomalies that typically relate to archaeological features such as field boundaries and other enclosures. |
