Abstract: |
A non-continuous detailed fluxgate gradiometer survey was undertaken between March and May 2015 over c.20 hectares on the existing Royal Norwich Golf Course, Hellesdon, Norwich, Norfolk (TG 203 115), in advance of the proposed development of c.1000 new homes. The survey areas were divided into separate golf holes, trees, bunkers and land terracing reduced the amount of survey area available. The background magnetic susceptibility signature varied across the site, the area on the eastern side of the A1067 had a relatively low magnetic background, compared with the average readings recorded to the west. A relatively wide range of anomalies, many of which have archaeological potential, were prospected with good clarity. Discrete anomalies indicative of potential rubbish pits were recorded in the majority of the survey areas, a backfilled ditch from the WWII anti-tank defences (Holes 2, 3, 4, 7, 14, 15 and 16), one curvilinear anomaly (Hole 6) interpreted as a potential ring-ditch, negative and positive anomalies indicative of potential archaeological ditches (Holes 10 and 13) and one rectilinear anomaly indicative of a potential structure (Hole 15) were prospected during the survey. The full range of anomaly types should be targeted to investigate the interpretations given within this report, with particular attention given to those with a possible archaeological derivation. |
