Abstract: |
Stratascan were commissioned by Thames Valley Archaeological Services to undertake a geophysical survey of an area outlined for development as a gravel quarry. A magnetic susceptibility reconnaissance survey was carried out over 54ha of land near Down Ampney, Wiltshire. Following this three areas of enhanced magnetic susceptibility and one area of moderate magnetic enhancement were targeted with detailed magnetic survey (13.5ha). In these four areas numerous weak positive linear anomalies were found in a regular pattern suggestive of ploughing activity. In addition several anomalies most likely associated with modern services were located running through Areas 1 and 2. Finally there were anomalies that may have an archaeological origin, with several possible cut features being identified within the data. |
