Abstract: |
Detailed fluxgate gradiometer survey was undertaken by Britannia Archaeology Ltd over two separate paddocks on 27th February 2014. A fairly wide range of anomalies were recorded within them, some of which have archaeological potential. The northern paddock contained one area of magnetic disturbance that potentially relates to demolition rubble material. Three weak positive linear trends, two of which are present on a similar alignment to a backfilled field boundary and the third that is potentially a land drain or service run were recorded. One positive discrete anomaly could be the remains of a former rubbish pit however a geological origin cannot be ruled out. Anomalies recorded in the southern paddock include four areas of magnetic disturbance that may demarcate the location of demolition rubble material. A dipolar discrete anomaly interpreted as a potential former burnt pit. Two weak positive linear trends have also been recorded and interpreted as land drains or service runs. No anomalies indicative of a return related to the possible moat are present in the southern paddock, it is therefore surmised that if this feature exists; it may be present in the garden of Chilton Leys Farm or potentially under the existing boundary. Outbuildings associated with moated sites are commonly present on the outside of the earthwork and therefore the areas of magnetic disturbance recorded during the magnetometer survey may prove to be evidence of these former structures. |
