Abstract: |
This report was prepared during February 2014 by Substrata and AC archaeology. It represents the results of a geophysical survey and archaeological appraisal, produced in support of a planning application for a proposed development at the above site. The development is proposed within the grounds of a Grade II* Listed Building and the locality of two others of Grade II status. The archaeological appraisal has established the potential for medieval archaeology on the site. The magnetic and resistance contrasts across the survey areas were sufficient to be able to differentiate between anomalies representing possible archaeological features and background responses. Area 1: A total of six anomaly groups were identified as relating to potential archaeology. Of these, two coinciding magnetic and resistance groups may represent a former ditch or drainage channel. The remaining anomalies are thought to relate to relatively recent activities. Area 2: A total of five anomaly groups were identified as relating to potential archaeology. Of these, two coinciding magnetic and resistance groups and one resistance group may represent linear deposits such as former ditches, drainage channels or track edges. One anomaly group may represent a stone or stone-filled pit. One anomaly group coincides exactly with an area of gravel. |
