Abstract: |
Stratascan were commissioned by Oxford Archaeology North to undertake a metal detecting survey of an area outlined for development. This survey forms part of an archaeological investigation by Oxford Archaeology North. A 40% coverage non-ferrous metal detecting survey was carried out at the proposed development site of Tewitfield Marina. Initial examination of the results reveals the majority of the finds are of modern origin. This could suggest that the possible presence of metallic archaeological remains are beyond the depth of penetration of the metal detector. The construction of the Lancaster Canal and Turnpike road, along with local industrial activity may have covered or removed archaeological deposits. A detailed gradiometer survey may reveal possible archaeological features up to a depth of 1m. |
