Abstract: |
Magnitude Surveys was commissioned to assess the subsurface archaeological potential of a c. 11ha area of land at symmetry park, Huyton, Merseyside. A fluxgate gradiometer survey was successfully completed across the site. The geophysical results are characterised by strongly enhanced magnetic anomalies related to drainage features and modern disturbance. The north-eastern end of the survey area in particular has been affected by quantities of modern ferrous material in the near surface. No clear indications of archaeological activity have been identified, however historic agricultural land usage has been detected in the form of recorded former field boundaries and trackways. In addition, anomalies have been detected which possibly relate to the former Cronton colliery which borders the survey area to the south. |
