Abstract: |
This geophysical survey was undertaken as part of an archaeological field evaluation of the site of a proposed solar PV and wind farm development at the former Woolfox Lodge airfield. The survey covered surveyable ground within the boundary of the solar site, which is to occupy the former airfield, together with the wind turbines locations and associated access tracks to the north. The survey was carried out between 20th November and 12th December 2014. The survey has detected a dense and complex pattern of magnetic disturbances across large areas of the site. Much of this activity clearly represents debris from former airfield structures, and other related disturbances, but some may relate to features surviving from former landscapes. These findings include parallel cultivation markings which may represent traces of ridge and furrow cultivation in several areas of the site, together with probable land drains. There are also possible traces of ditch-like features which may represent fragments of ditches or enclosures predating the modern landscape. |
