Abstract: |
In November 2015 Britannia Archaeology Ltd (BA) undertook a detailed magnetometer survey on Land Adjacent to Bradwell Marina, Waterside Road, Bradwell-on-Sea, Essex (NGR TL 99527 07542). The survey was conducted over the area of a proposed static holiday caravan park and will inform the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) to be submitted in support of the proposed planning application (ref. FUL/MAL/15/00142). An abundance of 'iron spike' responses were recorded through the dataset. It is possible that some of these responses may have archaeological derivation however it is extremely likely that these represent nothing more than ferrous debris introduced into the topsoil during episodes of manuring. Five positive linear trends were recorded in the dataset. These have been interpreted as buried agricultural ceramic land drains. One large and two small areas of magnetic disturbance were recorded. The large area of disturbance was located along the western boundary of the site. This area of the site is known to have been subject to a series of reclamation and consolidation events from the mid-20th century onwards. The two smaller areas of magnetic disturbance present in the data represent the former location of known modern structures. One dipolar linear trend marks the location of a probable buried modern pipe. The route of the pipe runs from the eastern boundary and is orientated east to west across the site. |
