Abstract: |
The magnetic contrast across the survey areas was sufficient to be able to differentiate between anomalies representing possible archaeological features and background magnetic responses. A total of 39 magnetic anomaly groups were identified as pertaining to potential archaeology. Those in area 1 (figure 1) for the most part reflect a pattern of extant linear earthworks and extant cairns and/or possible barrows mapped by the RCHME as a field system thought to date from the Iron Age and later. Some of the anomaly patterns represent linear deposits that may also relate to this field system although other archaeological origins cannot be ruled out. Three areas of relatively high magnetic anomaly contrasts in area 1 point to deposits that may be archaeologically significant and associated with the field system and cairns or barrows. No archaeologically significant magnetic anomaly groups were recorded in area 2 (figure 1). Anomaly groups likely to reflect the Berry Camp defences and two former post medieval field boundaries removed between 1959 and 1963 were recorded in areas 3 and 4 along with 9 linear anomaly groups that may represent former field boundaries or other enclosures. The anomalies reflecting the former defences seem to show either a more complex structure than is now visible or more than one phase of construction. |
