Abstract: |
A detailed gradiometry survey was conducted over approximately 55.4 hectares of mixed arable and grassland, along a proposed pipeline running for 18.5km. The survey has identified areas of probable prehistoric settlement activity and enclosures, as well as the route of a Roman road (Akeman Street) and a possibly Romano-British enclosure. A number of possible archaeological anomalies are seen along the route, some of which may be evidence of further settlement activity, however the narrow nature of the survey makes a more confident interpretation difficult. Areas of ridge and furrow cultivation have been detected in the north and centre of the route, mostly around Deddington, North Aston, and Middle Aston. This suggests that these areas are likely to have been used for agricultural purposes since the medieval period. The remaining anomalies are natural or modern in origin, relating to underground services, trackways, scattered magnetic debris, ferrous objects, and fencing. |
