Abstract: |
In October and November 2017 Suffolk Archaeology Community Interest Company (SACIC) undertook a detailed fluxgate gradiometer survey over c. 12.5 hectares on land south of Harrisons Lane, Halesworth, Suffolk. The survey was undertaken within five separate fields, three of which were recently harrowed and sown and two that were under short cropped grass. The detailed fluxgate gradiometer survey prospected a wide variety of geophysical anomalies, those of a potential archaeological origin include five backfilled ditches of which three are relic field boundaries, a possible double ditched trackway, six discrete pits and two large discrete magnetic responses interpreted as potential rubbish pits. A modern ferrous service run was prospected on the northern field boundary, areas of magnetic enhancement caused by modern dumps of material, overhead electricity cable poles and magnetic material located within and near the field boundaries. A single linear geological anomaly was further recorded running downslope in the southwestern field, and an agricultural furrow was recorded in the northeastern dataset. |
