Abstract: |
Northamptonshire Archaeology was commissioned to carry out magnetometer survey in advance of the construction of two ponds at Cardington Airfield, Bedfordshire. Two blocks of land, with a total area of c 7.4ha, were subject to detailed magnetometer survey. This work revealed at least two enclosures of probable Iron Age or Romano-British date, and various other features including two possible kilns. Further anomalies were detected which indicate the presence of modern pipelines, railway track beds and an area of disturbed ground containing a substantial amount of ferrous debris.Following revisions to the construction plans, a second phase of fieldwork was commissioned, and was undertaken on 5th August 2011. |
