Abstract: |
On the 17th April 2015, Britannia Archaeology Ltd undertook a detailed magnetometer survey over 0.75 hectares of land on a single field at Riverside Farm, Creeting St Mary, Suffolk. The survey was required ahead of the proposed construction of a single building with an associated access road and pond. A narrow range of geophysical anomalies were recorded, the most numerous of which were isolated dipolar responses caused by ferrous objects deposited within the topsoil. Two areas of magnetic disturbance on the southern limit record the close proximity of a brick outbuilding, an extant fire pit and a metal fence boundary. One very large area of magnetic disturbance was recorded where a large extant depression is located and a pit is drawn on cartographic sources. It was potentially used for the extraction of aggregate and then subsequently backfilled with material of a magnetic nature. A weak negative linear anomaly running parallel with the northern field boundary has been interpreted as a non-ferrous service pipe. A cluster of four thermoremnant responses recorded close to the western boundary may be indicative of features that include bonfires, fire pits, hearths, kilns or furnaces. Seven positive linear anomalies indicative of ditch type features, aligned north-east to south-west or perpendicular, provide evidence for an earlier phase of field boundary sub-division or enclosures of potential agricultural or archaeological origin. |
