Abstract: |
Detailed fluxgate gradiometer and earth resistance surveys were successful in identifying a range of anomalies which help to describe the sites taphonomy. A good degree of correlation and occasional differences between the two datasets ultimately provide a complementary result. The magnetometer survey revealed a plethora of isolated dipolar responses, three areas of magnetic disturbance caused by a low garden wall and two existing perpendicular pathways. Six discrete anomalies, one of which was present over the centre of a negative linear trend and near to a high resistance anomaly recorded by the RM85 on the eastern boundary. Two negative linear trends that lie parallel to the existing eastern and western boundary walls correlate well with high resistance trends recorded by the earth resistance meter. The eastern trend has been interpreted as a culvert, and the western trend as the existing boundary wall foundation, or an earlier wall or pathway. Areas of low resistance were recorded on the sites periphery, where the ground appears to have been raised and flowerbeds are present. An area of high and very high resistance is present where material has been removed to construct the two terraces. High resistance linear trends, some of which correlate with negative linear trends recorded by the magnetometer, are believed to be the remains of a culvert close to the eastern boundary, and an existing boundary wall foundation, or an earlier wall or pathway to the west. |
