Abstract: |
A geophysical (magnetometer) survey covering approximately 9 hectares was carried out on land at Ormesby St Margaret, to provide further information on the archaeological resource of the site prior to its proposed development. Anomalies of significant archaeological potential have been identified across the majority of the site confirming, enhancing and defining the extent of archaeological remains indicated by cropmarks, documentary evidence and find-spots. These remains are likely to be predominantly medieval and post-medieval in date, including the site of St Peter's Church, which judging from the survey results confirms that the church was the early focus of the village. The cropmarks suggestive of prehistoric and Roman activity are much less represented in the magnetic data. The survey has confirmed the conclusion of an earlier desk-based assessment that the site contains important heritage assets of high archaeological potential. |
