Abstract: |
This work comprises part of a larger survey completed by AC Archaeology Ltd at the above site. The magnetic and resistance responses were sufficient to be able to differentiate anomalies representing possible archaeological features. A total of six magnetic anomaly groups and six resistance anomaly groups were mapped as representing potential archaeological deposits and features. Of these one magnetic group and one resistance group coincide and are likely to represent the remains of a ring ditch associated with the barrow. One magnetic anomaly group may represent deposits within the confines of the barrow that appear to have been disrupted by possible ridge-and-furrow ploughing although no relationship between these deposits and the barrow could be ascertained. Three magnetic groups represent either archaeological deposits such as small pits or postholes or natural deposits. Two resistance groups also lie within the barrow area but these may represent relatively recent ploughing. The remaining magnetic and resistance anomalies are linear and may be associated with former field or enclosure boundaries of unknown date although they may represent field drains or natural deposits. |
