Abstract:
This report was commissioned by Renewable Developers Ltd to help establish the cultural heritage and archaeological implications of a proposal for a solar array at the above site. The survey took place in three discrete phases in 2015 and 2016. The magnetic responses across the survey area were sufficient to be able to differentiate between anomalies representing possible archaeological features and background magnetic responses. Thirty-five magnetic anomaly groups were mapped as representing possible archaeological deposits or features. Seven of these anomaly groups represent former field boundaries recorded on historic maps. Three groups may represent archaeological deposits but this is by no means certain. A further three groups may represent either filled pits or natural hollows. The remaining groups are most likely to represent linear and disrupted linear deposits, such as former ditches or banks, of unknown period and from one or more phases of past land management. The strong multilinear linear patterns across the eastern and southern fields data reflect relatively deep ploughing across the site, the latest phase of which was present as deep furrows during the survey. Such disturbance to the soil and subsoil is bound to reduce the preservation of archaeological deposits and this is reflected in the concentration of mapped potential archaeological deposits in the north-western corner of the survey area.
