Abstract: |
Excavation during the construction of a plastic water pipe revealed a wealth of buried archaeological deposits including Iron Age features, suggestions of a high status Roman building and post holes indicating an Anglo Saxon structure. Gradiometer and limited resistance survey were undertaken to determine the nature and extent of buried archaeological deposits discovered during pipeline operations. This work formed part of a wider archaeological investigation being undertaken as part of the Time Team series. The gradiometer survey produced mixed results. In the main survey area data was severely affected by a pre-existing buried metal pipe, running alongside the plastic water pipe. However, several broad ditch type anomalies were noted though no particular pattern could be established. Resistance survey identified anomalies suggestive of possible structure remains, but excavation revealed these to be naturally occurring chalk outcrops. A small survey to the northwest of the main area of investigation produced a very weak, subcircular, magnetic anomaly that proved on excavation to be prehistoric in date. [Au(abr)] |
