Abstract: |
This report was commissioned by AC Archaeology Ltd on behalf of clients and is part of a programme of archaeological works undertaken in preparation for a forthcoming planning application. The magnetic contrast across the area was sufficient to be able to differentiate between anomalies representing possible archaeological features and background magnetic responses. Eleven magnetic anomaly groups were identified as possibly representing archaeological deposits or features. The majority of these are linear and disrupted linear groups that, along with one disrupted curvilinear group and one right-angled return, are most likely to relate to past field boundaries or other enclosures of unknown date but removed before the publication of the first Ordnance Survey map in 1886. There are three clusters of anomaly groups that may represent pits or similar archaeological deposits although natural origins cannot be ruled out. One group, spread across the site, is likely to represent former ridge-and-furrow ploughing. |
