Abstract: |
A detailed gradiometer survey was conducted over land at Parmiter Drive, Wimborne, Dorset (centred on National Grid Reference 402535, 099490). The project was commissioned by Wyatt Homes Ltd with the aim of establishing the presence, or otherwise, and nature of detectable archaeological features to inform a planning application for a proposed residential development to be submitted to East Dorset District Council. The site comprised an irregular shaped arable field located immediately south of Parmiter Drive, covering an area of 8.2ha. The geophysical survey was undertaken on 6th to 9th October 2015. The detailed gradiometer survey has demonstrated the presence of a number of anomalies of archaeological interest throughout the area. The anomalies identified as being of archaeological interest are primarily ditch-like features with some evidence for associated pit features also evident. At least four circular features have been identified throughout the survey area and these have been tentatively interpreted as possible roundhouses. Additionally, a section of Roman road was identified c. 500m east of the site, but has not been identified within the dataset. Additionally, numerous discrete pits and ditches have been interpreted. Throughout the site other anomalies have been identified and defined as agricultural features, trends, areas of increased magnetic response and isolated ferrous responses, none of which have been classified as of archaeological potential. |
