Abstract: |
A geophysical survey was conducted at the site of a proposed wind turbine at Edder Acres Farm, Shotton, Durham. The survey detected linear markings which could relate to former ridge and furrow cultivation, but there are no other identifiable findings along the access route. Distinct (but perhaps partly eroded) ditch-like linear features are visible within the turbine site. There are also a number of individual magnetic anomalies of a kind which could represent silted pits (as are often seen at ancient settlement sites). These are not all clearly distinguishable from the natural background magnetic activity, but the possibility remains that some could be of archaeological origin. |
