Abstract: |
Magnitude Surveys was commissioned to assess the subsurface archaeological potential of a c. 8.5ha area of land off Poplar Hill, Stowmarket, Suffolk. A fluxgate magnetometer survey was successfully completed and no anomalies of possible or probable archaeological origin have been detected. The geophysical results primarily reflect agricultural and modern activity. Three former field boundaries have been identified which correspond with historic maps and ridge and furrow trends have also been detected within one of these boundaries. Modern agricultural activity on the site includes repeated tractor movement and modern plough at the edges of the field, and strong linear anomalies which may represent drainage. Modern activity on the site consists of pipelines, overhead cables, and ferrous responses along the perimeter of the field. |
