Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Rapid Technology Transfer Group on behalf of their client Sonnet Energy Ltd. to undertake a detailed gradiometer survey of land south of High Field House, near Grantham, Lincolnshire (centred on NGR 496050, 342875 and 495850, 342250). The aim of the work was to establish the presence, or otherwise, and nature of detectable archaeological features on the site as part of a programme of archaeological works ahead of proposed development at the Site. The site is located approximately 7.85km northeast of the centre of Grantham and 2.6km southwest of Ancaster. The site comprises one arable field located to the south of High Field House within a valley that forms the beginning of the main tributary of the River Slea. Detailed gradiometer survey was undertaken over all accessible parts of the site, a total of 13.1ha, and has demonstrated the presence of anomalies of likely, probable and possible archaeological significance along with several spreads of increased magnetic response and at least one former field boundary. The main concentration of archaeological features was located in the southern survey area where a sub-rectangular enclosure was detected. A track and associated field system was identified in the northern survey area. The survey was undertaken between 15th and 19th May 2014. |
