Abstract: |
This report presents the results of an archaeological magnetometer survey at the above site. It has been prepared for AC Archaeology Ltd as part of a Bradninch community research project. Field name and earthwork evidence suggested that there may be an enclosure within the survey area. This survey was designed to test for the presence and nature of any such enclosure. The magnetic responses across the survey area were sufficient to be able to differentiate between anomalies representing possible archaeological features and background magnetic responses. Five magnetic anomaly groups were mapped as representing potential archaeological deposits or features. No evidence of an enclosure or similar archaeological feature was recorded in the dataset. One group is most likely to represent a stony deposit such as a hard track along the field boundary, a gravel-filled service trench or, less likely, a wall footing. The remaining groups have characteristics typical of fragmented archaeological deposits such as former field or enclosure boundaries of unknown date. |
