Abstract: |
Magnitude Surveys was commissioned to assess the subsurface archaeological potential of a c. 8.5ha area of land at Union Road, Stowmarket, Suffolk. A fluxgate magnetometer survey was successfully completed, and anomalies of probable and possible archaeological origin have been identified. The magnetic enhancement on the site was generally low, with anomalies of possible archaeological origin having a similar contrast to the general variation produced by differences in the soils and geology on the site. Nevertheless, the analysis of the magnetic data for the northern part of the survey, combined with LiDAR and satellite imagery, suggests possible multiple earthwork features enclosing an area of higher ground. Only segments of the earthworks have been covered by the survey. Within the apparently enclosed area, one probable and one possible ring ditch have been identified c. 25m in diameter. There is a further possible ring ditch of similar dimensions in the north eastern corner of the survey, immediately outside a possible entrance complex in the enclosure earthworks. A second possible enclosure has been recorded in the southern part of the site. Anomalies related to recent agricultural activity (ploughing trends and headlands, rubbish dumping) and of undetermined origin have also been identified. |
