Abstract: |
A detailed gradiometer survey was conducted over land at Lawrence Weston Road, Avonmouth, Bristol. The project was commissioned by Alandem Consulting, on behalf of Bristol City Council, with the aim of establishing the presence, or otherwise, and nature of detectable archaeological features on the site ahead of the proposed development. The site comprises nine pasture fields at the northwest edge of Bristol, some 8km from the city centre and 2.6km ENE of Avonmouth, centred on NGR 354125 1792225. The site occupies an area of flat land within the Henbury Levels. The gradiometer survey covered an area measuring 16.6ha and covered all accessible parts of the site. The survey has demonstrated the presence of a few anomalies of possible archaeological interest within the survey area along with agricultural features and a wide spread of geological deposits. Some pit-like anomalies have been detected in the data, although their close association with geological features strongly suggest they are natural in origin. The geophysical data has largely revealed agricultural features with former field boundaries, several field drains and ploughing trends detected across the site. The survey was undertaken between 11th and 15th August 2014. |
