Abstract: |
Stratascan were commissioned by Oxford Archaeology North to undertake a geophysical survey of an area outlined for development. The geophysical survey undertaken over 185ha of agricultural land at Newton-le- Willows, Merseyside has identified a number of anomalies of possible archaeological origin. Positive linear anomalies indicate the presence of cut features such as ditches and negative anomalies suggest the presence of possible former earthworks or banks. Discrete positive anomalies have been interpreted as possible pits. The resistivity data undertaken over a section of Area 12 has little correlation with the results of the detailed magnetometry survey. However a former field boundary can be identified in both data sets. |
