Abstract: |
This report was commissioned by AC Archaeology Ltd on behalf of Bell Cornwell LLP. It was prepared by Substrata as supporting information for a forthcoming planning application relating to a proposed housing development at the above site. The location of the site is shown in figure 4. An Historic Environment Assessment was completed for the site and its surrounding area by AC Archaeology Ltd during May and June 2013 (Chadwick, 2013). The magnetic contrast across the survey area was low but sufficient to be able to differentiate between anomalies representing possible archaeological features and background magnetic responses. Twenty-eight magnetic anomaly groups were identified as pertaining to archaeological deposits or structures. Of these, ten coincide with features mapped during a site assessment conducted by AC Archaeology Ltd as possible drainage ditches or leats. Two groups coincide with features mapped during the same assessment as potentially relating to Post-medieval flax retting Their patterns indicate that they may relate to natural palaeochannels or, possibly, hybrid natural and man-made deposits. One group is likely to reflect a deposit of rubble. The remaining groups are most likely to represent former field or enclosure boundaries not recorded on historical maps. |
