Abstract: |
This report was commissioned by AC Archaeology Ltd on behalf of Wessex Water and has been prepared as part of a programme of work in response to consultation with Wiltshire Council Planning Department in advance of construction of a proposed water supply main between the existing Wessex Water reservoirs at Earlsdown (NGR SU 18731 41340) and Camp Hill (NGR SU 11084 33692). The route of the proposed water main is 14km in length with an 800m branch into Boscombe. The proposals for the work comprise the majority of the route being laid using open cut construction with a working easement of approximately 20m. The magnetometer (gradiometer) survey was undertaken along sections of the proposed route as specified by Wiltshire Council Planning Department. The sections were divided into six, 30m wide survey areas as shown in Figures 1 to 3. The magnetic contrast across the survey areas was sufficient to be able to differentiate between anomalies representing possible archaeological features and background magnetic responses. Twenty-four magnetic anomaly groups were identified as pertaining to archaeological deposits or structures. |
