Abstract: |
A detailed gradiometry survey was conducted over approximately 53 hectares of arable land. The survey at Wixams has identified an area of settlement, likely to be Iron Age or Roman in origin, along with a possibly related road or drove way. A small number of possible archaeological anomalies have been identified across the site, however these could equally be agricultural or natural in origin. The majority of the rest of the site is covered by anomalies relating to modern agricultural activity including former field boundaries, ploughing, land drains and the remains of Elstow Hardwick Farm buildings. The remaining anomalies are natural or modern in origin, relating to underground services, made ground, ferrous objects and fencing. |
