Abstract: |
On Monday 30th March 2015 Britannia Archaeology Ltd undertook a detailed fluxgate gradiometer survey over c.2.20 hectares of land adjacent to No.1 St Johns Street, Beck Row, Mildenhall, Suffolk, in three small agricultural fields over the footprint of a proposed housing estate. The background magnetic signature was found to be relatively high, with large areas of magnetic disturbance prospected across the survey area. Despite this the detailed fluxgate gradiometer survey was successful in recording anomalies of a potential archaeological origin. Isolated dipolar responses and large areas of magnetic disturbance were predominant across the fields, with extant areas of burning and large wheel ruts providing evidence of modern site activity. Seven positive linear anomalies were prospected, the majority of which are indicative of remnant field boundaries. One area of magnetic disturbance located where a complex of buildings are recorded on the OS map of 1882, may be of archaeological significance. Seven thermoremnant responses may provide evidence of former backyard industrial activity, potentially hearths, furnaces or kilns. |
