Abstract: |
This report was commissioned by the Historic England and was designed to inform the future heritage management of five Scheduled Bronze Age barrows and a linear Iron Age or Civil War earthwork at the above site. A magnetometer (gradiometer) survey was completed across five areas corresponding to the five barrows and one earthwork. An earth-resistance survey was completed across one area to mitigate for the presence of a service pipe with a high magnetic response. No resistance anomalies recorded in the dataset related to potential archaeological deposits. Both the magnetic and earth-resistance responses were sufficient to be able to distinguish anomalies representing possible archaeological features from those representing geological and other natural deposits. Forty-five magnetic anomaly groups were characterised as representing archaeological deposits or features with thirty of these ascribed to the five known barrows targeted by this survey. Two groups represent the known linear earthwork also targeted by the survey. The majority of the remaining groups are most likely to represent fragments of linear deposits such as ditches from at least one phase of former field boundaries and/or enclosures. One curvilinear sequence of anomaly groups may represent a linear alignment of pits or a recent service trench. An area of enhanced response may also relate to archaeological deposits of an unclear nature. |
