Abstract: |
A detailed gradiometer survey was conducted over land at Waterlooville, Hampshire. The project was commissioned by CgMs Consulting Ltd. with the aim of establishing the presence, or otherwise, and nature of detectable archaeological features on the site ahead of a proposed development. The Site comprises the route of a proposed access road crossing a series of arable fields. The gradiometer survey covered 0.89 ha and has demonstrated the presence of anomalies of possible archaeological interest within the survey area, along with regions of magnetic disturbance and increased response, ferrous anomalies and modern services. Isolated pit-like responses comprise the majority of anomalies of possible archaeological interest, as it is not possible to exclude this interpretation entirely; it is possible that some are the result of natural processes or agricultural activity, however. It is possible that a cluster of such anomalies near the centre of the Site is more likely to be of archaeological interest, although little coherency can be seen within their distribution. A series of parallel trends has been identified, which is consistent with historic ploughing as they are not oriented parallel with existing field boundaries. A series of regions of increased magnetic response are consistent with agricultural or geological activity, and are therefore not considered to be of archaeological interest. |
