Abstract: |
This report presents the results of an archaeological magnetometer. It has been prepared for Mr Anthony Rew as contributing information for a forthcoming planning application concerned with the above area. The area and plot designations used in this report follow those of an historic environment assessment completed by AC Archaeology Ltd for the same application albeit for a larger area of 92.4ha (Costen, 2015). One hundred and five magnetic anomaly groups were mapped as representing possible archaeological deposits or structures. Of these, seventeen are likely to represent a former field boundaries recorded on historical maps. One anomaly group represents a former quarry recorded on historic maps. A similar, nearby anomaly group probably represents an un-mapped, disused quarry. One group may represent, a rubble and/or brick deposit and may possibly be associated with nearby former rifle butts from a nineteenth century rifle range that continued in use until after World War 2. Three groups may represent former routeways such as stock paths or un-ditched tracks. Eighteen groups are thought to represent historic ridge-and-furrow cultivation. The sixty four remaining magnetic anomaly groups have characteristics that are typical of anomalies representing former field and enclosure boundaries of unknown origin and more than one phase of land enclosure. |
