Abstract: |
A geophysical survey, comprising detailed magnetometry, was undertaken by Archaeological Surveys Ltd at the request of Pre-Construct Archaeology over an area of land to the north of the A454 at Swancote to the east of Bridgnorth in Shropshire. The survey includes an area of rugby pitches, adjacent land outlined for a proposed clubhouse and lawned areas adjacent to a former country club. The results demonstrate the presence of widespread natural anomalies formed in periglacial conditions within the western part of the site, along with magnetic debris. A rectilinear feature formed by magnetically enhanced anomalies contained within a negative rectilinear anomaly may indicate a former structure, although its age and function is uncertain. Several other positive anomalies of uncertain origin were located, and it is not possible to determine whether they relate to anthropogenic activity or natural features. |
