Abstract: |
Archaeological Surveys Ltd carried out a geophysical survey on land to the east of the A49 at Hadnall in Shropshire. The site comprises two ungrazed pasture fields and a scheduled medieval moated site and ridge and furrow. The westernmost field has been outlined for a housing development, with the easternmost field kept for public open space and the moated site to be cleared of vegetation. Both magnetometery and earth resistance surveys were carried out within all accessible parts of the site, including the scheduled moated site and ridge and furrow under Section 42 licence from Historic England. The results of the magnetometer survey show generally very weakly magnetic anomalies, the majority of which lack a coherent morphology. A pit-like anomaly within the scheduled area has been located and an archaeological origin should be considered. Within the moated site positive responses were not clear due to widespread magnetic contamination. The results of the earth resistance survey show a large number of high resistance linear, rectilinear and curvilinear responses, primarily within the eastern part of the site. Although they are not well defined an archaeological origin is possible. Within the moated site are a number of high resistance responses with a linear and rectilinear form. Given their location within the moated site and the morphology it is possible that they relate to possible structural remains. |
