Abstract: |
Geomagnetic surveys covering c.3ha of land have been conducted within two arable fields off Main Road between Harrington and High Harrington. The surveys detected a modern service pipe running along the line of the northern boundary along with two modern test pits/ bore holes that were visible on the surface. The presence of a mature crop within the survey area may have affected the final quality and clarity of the results obtained as the physical production of the survey was hindered due to the heavy resistance caused by the height and density of the crop. The geomagnetic surveys detected the presence of possible soil filled features within both of the survey areas (Areas 1-2). The Ordnance Survey map of 1975 shows a system of trackways running through area 1 and it is likely that these results reflect the buried remains of these earlier trackways. There is a possibility that the north east to south west aligned linear feature in area 2 is a continuation of the one noted within area 1 although this is not supported by the cartographic evidence which could indicate a separate area of interest. An area of possible interest was noted towards the north west corner of area 1 in which possible structural remains were recorded. |
