Abstract: |
This report was commissioned by AC Archaeology Ltd on behalf of clients. It has been prepared as part of a programme of work in support of a forthcoming planning application at the site. The magnetic contrast across the area was sufficient to be able to differentiate between anomalies representing possible archaeological features and background magnetic responses. Twenty-four magnetic anomaly groups were identified as relating to possible archaeological deposits or features. Of these, one group lies adjacent to a small, single ditched, rectangular enclosure measuring approximately 40m by 30m, identified from aerial photographs and during a previous geophysical survey. It is likely that this group reflects the rectangular enclosure or related archaeological deposits. The remaining identified anomaly groups have characteristics typical of anomalies reflecting former field and other enclosure boundaries. Three of these may relate to former field boundaries of the current field system. The remainder are likely to relate to field boundaries or other enclosures of more than one phase of previous land management. |
