Abstract: |
A geophysical (magnetometer) survey covering 5.3 hectares was carried out in two areas on the north-eastern edge of East Priorslee, to provide further information on the archaeological resource and to inform the possible future development of the site. No anomalies of obvious archaeological potential have been identified adjacent to Watling Street Roman Road, although a linear anomaly may indicate a ditch. Further south, no anomalies have been detected in the vicinity of possible archaeological cropmarks although low magnitude anomalies, if present, may be masked within the prevailing elevated magnetic background. Elsewhere, anomalies have been identified which are due to a service pipe, a former pylon base, field drains and a possible former quarry pit or pond. On the basis of the geophysical survey, the archaeological potential of the site is considered to be low to moderate. |
