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. Nine magnetic anomaly groups were mapped as representing potential archaeological deposits or features. Four anomaly groups are likely to represent the same features as cropmarks previously recorded in adjacent fields. Their anomaly pattern is suggestive of former Cornish Hedges. One group may represent another of these features although it may represent a separate filled ditch. Two groups correspond with cropmarks recorded on Google Earth imagery and may represent a former enclosure or field boundary. A group to the south may represent a separate enclosure or field boundary. One group possibly represents a former track, current stock route or ground disturbed by service laying |
