Abstract: |
A geophysical survey was conducted over land to the north and south of Bulford Droveway, Bulford, Wiltshire, within the southern limits of the Defence Training Estate (DTE) Salisbury Plain. The project was commissioned by WYG Planning and Design with the aim of establishing the presence, or otherwise, and nature of detectable archaeological features on the site ahead of development. The development proposes the construction of a trackway and washdown facility, and covers an area of 11ha, (measuring 1.7km in length and ranging from between 60m to 120m wide). It extends across a patchwork of fields comprising areas of marshland, pasture and arable cultivation. A detailed gradiometer survey was undertaken over all accessible parts of the site, and covered an area of 10ha. The results have demonstrated the presence of anomalies of likely, probable and possible archaeological significance, along with several spreads of increased magnetic response and anomalies that suggest a number of modern services. The main concentration of archaeological features was located in the northern portion of the survey area and included a curvilinear ditch extending intermittently for 350m. A number of features in the dataset may relate to tracks crossing the land covered by the geophysical survey. The survey was undertaken between 17th and 19th September 2014. |
