Abstract: |
A detailed gradiometer survey was conducted over land off the A14, near Creeting St Peter, Suffolk. The project was commissioned by MS Power Projects Limited with the aim of establishing the presence, or otherwise, and nature of detectable archaeological features on the site ahead of a proposed solar farm development. The survey area is centred on NGR 608950 257450. The site comprises two arable fields to the northeast of the A14, approximately 1.3km southeast of Creeting St Peter. The gradiometer survey covered 26.8ha and has been unsuccessful, in this instance, in demonstrating the presence/absence of anomalies of archaeological interest within the survey area. This lack of success stems from a dense concentration of ferrous responses that were detected across the majority of the site. These ferrous responses acted to obscure any archaeological features that may be present making interpretation very difficult. The geophysical survey has not been effective in informing on the archaeological potential of the Site and it is considered that any future trenching should be targeted on alternative sources such as aerial photography and the results of the desk-based assessment. The survey was conducted between 20th and 24th May 2013. |
