Abstract: |
This report presents the results of an archaeological magnetometer survey at the above site, hereafter referred to as the survey area. It has been prepared for AC Archaeology Ltd on behalf of clients. The magnetic responses across the survey area were sufficient to be able to differentiate between anomalies representing possible archaeological features and background magnetic responses. Fourteen magnetic anomaly groups were mapped as representing possible archaeological deposits or features. All were in the southern-most of the two fields comprising the survey area. Eight of these anomaly groups represent former field boundaries recorded on historic maps. Three of the groups are most likely to represent linear and disrupted linear deposits, such as former ditches or banks, of unknown period and probably from more than one phase of past land management. Two groups may represent two curvilinear features with an apparent partial linking linear on their northern ends which could be an archaeological deposit or relatively recent ploughing disturbance. These groups need further archaeological investigation to resolve whether or not an enclosure exists. One group represents a magnetically enhanced deposit which may have archaeological or recent origins. |
