Abstract: |
A detailed gradiometer survey was conducted over land at Stapehill Farm, Wimbourne, Dorset (centred NGR 404490, 100832.) The project was commissioned by Terence O'Rourke, working on behalf of Solstice Renewables, with the aim of establishing the presence, or otherwise, and nature of detectable archaeological features in support of a planning application for the installation of a photovoltaic solar array within the site. The site comprises arable fields located to the northwest of Stapehill, covering an area of 7.5ha. The geophysical survey was undertaken survey was undertaken between 5th and 8th May 2015. The gradiometer survey has demonstrated the presence of a number of anomalies of potential archaeological interest almost entirely within the southern fields. The anomalies identified as being of archaeological interest consist of ditch and pit-type features. In the southern fields linear ditch features possibly represent an enclosure and in the northern fields there are several possible pit-like features alongside unclassified trends seen throughout the Site. Additionally, this archaeological investigation has detected areas of increased magnetic response possibly related to the linear ditch features, areas of superficial geology and evidence for historic cultivation. |
