Abstract: |
A geophysical (magnetometer) survey covering approximately 20 hectares was carried out on the southern outskirts of Gloucester, to inform the determination of an outline planning application for the proposed development of the site. Anomalies due to ridge and furrow ploughing predominate throughout the site confirming the cropmark evidence. However, at the southern apex of the site, and partially masked by the effects of the later cultivation, anomalies indicative of archaeological activity have been identified. Two distinct clusters of anomalies, both within 200m of a scheduled moated site, are clearly visible although the weak and fragmentary nature of the anomalies makes it difficult to interpret the precise nature of the activity. On the basis of the magnetic survey, the archaeological potential of the site is assessed as generally low, except to the south where it is assessed as moderate to high. |
