Abstract: |
Geophysical prospection was conducted as part of the archaeological evaluation of the proposed AWS pipeline route from Empingham (Rutland) to Hannington (Northamptonshire). A total area of c.12 ha, spread across 27 fields, was surveyed by fluxgate gradiometer. There was one extensive site, probably representing a Romano-British settlement, and six other fields containing ditched enclosures of probable later prehistoric, Roman or medieval date. Lesser archaeological features, including remnant ridge and furrow and isolated lengths of ditch, were found in in a further eleven. No archaeology was found in the remaining nine fields. A metal detecting survey in six of the fields recovered little of significance. [Au(adp)] |
